Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Is there any way to get the online/offline status for a SCSI DAT drive? I'm running 2.2.6 and am trying to get multi-tape support to work for Amanda 2.4.0, but the multi-device script uses 'mt status' to probe for the status of the drive. Unfortunately, 'mt status' doesn't seem to print anything other than density/compression information (certainly nothing that seems related to whether there is a cartridge in the drive).
