Hello Eric, Thanks for your kind help. This was the one of the first things that I tried to get it to work. I don't think that there's such a thing as a non-blocking device in IRIX...at least I can't seem to find any reference to it.
Also, I think that the chg-scsi has broken support for IRIX in Amanda-2.4.3. Everything worked fine when I used chg-scsi in 2.4.2p2. I'm willing to help the people who are maintaining the chg-scsi in Amanda to get it back in working order for IRIX. For know I'm using chg-zd-mtx. Cheers, Luc.
