We had this argument the other day, and you clearly didn't understand.
We have three devices for each tape drive: rsaX, ersaX and nrsaX.
The 'r' prefix for tape devices is entirely unrelated to the 'r' prefix
for disk devices. Please read the sa(4) manpage prior to its' corruption
by a well-meaning but entirely ignorant committer. (Fixed, btw.)
