Hello, Since upgrading to gnome2-2.16.1_2 yesterday, I've noticed that my tape backup have stopped working. Checks now reveal that I am no longer able to access the tape device (I've done all the usual checks on the drive itself), and this has started happening since I upgraded. This is what I'm now seeing: # mt stat mt: /dev/nsa0: Device busy # I can see the tape drive okay enough: # camcontrol devlist <HP C1537A L708> at scbus0 target 6 lun 0 (sa0,pass0) <SONY CD-ROM CDU5211 YYS7> at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (pass1,cd0) # I've tried brand new tapes, running cleaning (new ones) tapes through the drive, rebooting, etc, but I've effectively now no longer got a working tape drive. But I can't do anything else with it. Is there something else / special I would have to do with respect to the upgrade of Gnome, by chance? I'm wondering if this is in any way related to HAL implementation introduced in this latest version of Gnome. Let me know if there's anything else I need to post, please. Thanks. Regards, Stacey
