https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D206297 Bug ID: 206297 Summary: mt - status incorrectly reports "door open" as "device not configured" Product: Base System Version: 10.2-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: andrew@grillet.co.uk mt -f /dev/sa0 status - when no tape is loaded, reports "device not configured" when there is no = tape present.=20 The message "device not configured" appears to suggest that there is a major hardware or software defect, when "tape not loaded" or "door open" is a perfectly normal state for a tape drive. I would expect a message like "door open", "media not present" or "No tape loaded". This applies to all SCSI LTOx, DDSx and DATx drives, (have tested all generations of LTO 1 to 4, DDS 2 to 4, and also USB DAT72 drives (I don't h= ave any other working drives at present to test). This is a pretty serious defect in terms of consequences: I have tested on i386, but previously tested on Sparc and Sparc64, and assumed that the SCSI driver defective on the basis of this message! (So I moved those machines to OpenBSD, and the i386 machines to Linux). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
