Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Trying to figure this one out. 'mt -f /dev/sa0.ctl' does not give the expected result ('mt' carps that it can't do it), but reading the source, it looks like it should work. Anybody know whether it's 'mt' that's busted, 'sa.c', or simply a misguided notion in my head that the .ctl device is used to set persistent parameters (i.e., parameters that last longer than a session)? At the moment I'm just saying "%#@! it", since my storage manager resets the block size anyhow within a session (so non-persistence doesn't affect my backup software anyhow)... but that doesn't solve the problem of me being curious :-}. -- Eric Lee Green eric@estinc.com Software Engineer "The BRU Guys" Enhanced Software Technologies, Inc. http://www.estinc.com/ (602) 470-1115 voice (602) 470-1116 fax To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
