Hello,

What suggestions do you have for where I should look next? I'm happy to =
start installing various builds of FreeBSD in order to track down which =
commit caused this.

I'm trying to access a tape library from within a jail running on a =
FreeBSD 11.1 host.  sa(4) devices are working (e.g. I can rewind nsa0).

pass(4) devices (i.e. the tape changer ch0) are not working.  This =
morning I posted to -scsi@: =
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-scsi/2017-December/007608.html=


The device appears in the jail and has appropriate permissions.  This =
access was granted
via /etc/devfs.rules using the same approach I used for FreeBSD 10.3

The permissions in the jail:

[root@bacula-sd-02 ~]# ls -l /dev/pass7
crw-------  1 root  operator  0x74 Dec 16 21:52 /dev/pass7

The command in the jail:

[root@bacula-sd-02 ~]# mtx -f /dev/pass7 status=20
cannot open SCSI device '/dev/pass7' - Operation not permitted

Here is the truss output of the command in question: =

Thank you.
