Hi!

I have a Seagate Python (DSS-20) tape streamer, and it won't accept a retension command. Well, it accepts it, but nothing happens. Any ideas why this is so?

This is what happens:

$ mt ret  
$            <---- immediately, I get a fresh prompt. nothing happens.

I doesn't matter how much or little data there is on the tape.

FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE, adaptec 1540CS scsi card.

If you need more input, don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers,
Palle
