That definitely should have worked. You do need to manually rewoffl the drive, since most changers can't directly control the tape drive that's attached to them. Do you get any debugging messages logged to the console or /var/log/messages? You might need to boot the kernel in verbose mode to see them (set boot_verbose="YES" in /boot/loader.conf if you're running 4.*, otherwise type in "kernel -v" at the boot prompt). -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
