Trying to figure this one out. 'mt -f /dev/sa0.ctl' does not give the
expected result ('mt' carps that it can't do it), but reading the source,
it looks like it should work. Anybody know whether it's 'mt' that's
busted, 'sa.c', or simply a misguided notion in my head that the .ctl
device is used to set persistent parameters (i.e., parameters that last
longer than a session)?
At the moment I'm just saying "%#@! it", since my storage manager resets
the block size anyhow within a session (so non-persistence doesn't affect
my backup software anyhow)... but that doesn't solve the problem of me
being curious :-}.
