Hi, While doing a backup on an HP Ultrium LTO1 tape, my ssh connection froze, and since then, I'm not able to use the tape device anymore.
xeon# mt -f /dev/nsa0 rewind
mt: /dev/nsa0: Device busy
xeon# dump -0uaL -f /dev/nsa0 /dev/da0s1a
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Sep 27 23:21:56 2006
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
DUMP: Dumping snapshot of /dev/da0s1a (/) to /dev/nsa0
DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
DUMP: estimated 56238 tape blocks.
DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/nsa0".
DUMP: Do you want to retry the open?: ("yes" or "no")
Is there a way to reset the tape device without rebooting the server? I'm using
the 6.0 version.
