Greetings; I'm running fedora FC1, but with the most recent 2.6.7-rc3-mm2 kernel, however this doesn't seem to be particularly kernel version sensitive. I first noted this maybe 3 or 4 years ago, and its bit me maybe 3 or 4 times since. If I use mtx (version in this instant case is 1.2.18rel) to manipulate my tape changer, and there is an error in loading the tape (which it actually did just fine by the way), the only apparent recovery seems to be a reboot as /dev/sg1 is no longer functioning for the amanda required usages after the error. Is this a known bug, or something rather obscure? -- Cheers, Gene There are 4 boxes to be used in defense of liberty. Soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
