In fact, I was rather surprised that it didn't work, since I was accustomed to using it. Hmmm. Also, the code for it was defined in the /usr/include/sys/mtio.h. It is right under an undated comment from Andreas and in a section only compiled for FreeBSD. Anyway, it was trivial to add to the wt driver. I lifted the code nearly verbatim from the QIC-specific call, dropped it into the BSD-mt section, and it works great. Shall I submit a diff? > >... > > direction.
