Hello, I never had a subject in my last post, so I am posting this again, sorry. I have recently installed a SCSI tape drive in my FBSD box: Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle sa0 at sym0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0 sa0: <SEAGATE DAT 04106-XXX 743B> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15) I then tried to actually put some files on the tape using tar and had the following message in 'demsg': Dec 21 10:38:11 taco kernel: (sa0:sym0:0:6:0): lost device Dec 21 10:38:11 taco kernel: (sa0:sym0:0:6:0): failed to write terminating filemark(s) Dec 21 10:38:12 taco kernel: (sa0:sym0:0:6:0): tape is now frozen- use an OFFLINE, REWIND or MTEOM command to clear this state. Dec 21 10:38:12 taco kernel: (sa0:sym0:0:6:0): removing device entry I have no clue how to add the device entry again, I tried rebooting the box. I even tried some commands with 'devfs'... and got no where. Any ideas... Thanks. ====== -JT
