Hi Gary I did as you suggested and commented out the entries in the /kernel/drv/st.conf file and now when I boot -r, I see just the 0 and 1 IBM entries that I wanted, so that's great news, many thanks.
Now I just hope that it solves my strange little 'unable to write to filling tapes' problem.

As to your other question regarding st: Do you have a tape device other than the 3590 attached to the v2.9 server? If not, simply comment out all the scsi ids in the st.conf file. This will not let st grab a tape device. Gary Lee Senior System Programmer Ball State University -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
