Hi,
I recently installed a HP DDS3 Autoloader 24x6 on a x86 with 4.3.
Loading of tapes works without problems, but unloading the tape
after writing to it causes a 'Device busy' message:
# /bin/chio move slot 0 drive 0
# /sbin/dump -0uanf /dev/nrst0 /dev/wd0a
...
# /bin/mt -f /dev/nrst0 rewind
# /bin/chio move drive 0 slot 0
chio: /dev/ch0: CHIOMOVE: Device busy
The 'Device busy' message appears even after hours of waiting or
rebooting. Shuting down the system (halt) and restarting it solves
the problem.
Furthermore, after I do an interactive restore(8) (without restoring
any files) I can move the tape back to the slot.
Do you have any ideas what may cause this 'Device busy' messages?

the reason seems to be in rewinding /dev/nrst0 instead of /dev/rst0 ...
after
# /bin/mt -f /dev/rst0 rewind
moving the tape back to the slot wich chio does not cause an error
message any more.
sorry for the noise,
regards thomas
