On the contrary, I think that means your devfsadm command *did* work. You're now getting a tape-specific error message, instead of a generic one; that means the system now understands that /dev/rmt/0n is in fact a tape drive. So, taking the message at face value ... Was there a tape loaded? Was the drive online? -- | | /\ |-_|/ > Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.
