There's a new variant to the 'mt stat' command in -current (it made it to 3.1-STABLE too): quarm.feral.com > mt -f /dev/rsa3.ctl stat Mode Density Blocksize bpi Compression Current: default variable 0 unsupported ---------available modes--------- 0: default variable 0 unsupported 1: default variable 0 unsupported 2: default variable 0 unsupported 3: default variable 0 unsupported --------------------------------- Current Driver State: Writing. --------------------------------- File Number: 0 Record Number: 7 so you can print out the driver's notion of what it is doing if things are mysteriously hung. That could give a clue where the breakage is (like, if the driver says it's state is 'at rest' the problem is possibly outside the sa driver). -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
