I'm trying to get a single Exabyte Mammoth EXB-8900 8mm tape drive

run the btape tests, I get the following error message at the end:

*btape: btape.c:2576 is an illegal command
Does anyone have this kind of drive working successfully? If so could
you post your bacula-sd.conf file?
I'm running bacula 1.38.9 compiled using gcc-3.4.2 from sunfreeware.com
One thing that I've already learned is that the 'b' in the device name
under /dev/rmt means BSD. If you're wondering how to get a drive to run
in BSD mode instead of Sys-Y under solaris, this is it. If you would
otherwise specify the drive as /dev/rmt/1c, add a b to end making it
/dev/rmt/1cb.

Shouldn't you use the non rewinding device /dev/rmt/1cbn instead,
so the tape don't rewind on every close ?
ss95:/> ls -l /dev/{DRIVE?,exabyte,changer,dlt,dat}|cut -c55- |sort +2
/dev/changer -> scsi/changer/c5t0d0
/dev/dlt -> rmt/0cbn
/dev/exabyte -> rmt/1cbn
/dev/dat -> rmt/2cbn
/dev/DRIVE2 -> rmt/3cbn
/dev/DRIVE3 -> rmt/4cbn
/dev/DRIVE0 -> rmt/5cbn
/dev/DRIVE1 -> rmt/6cbn
---- yes I mixed up the scsi cables :-)
