Thanks for the suggestion,
I took a quick look at the documentation & the command is
taper -T scsi
but it still doesn't work. When I select "Restore Module" taper does not
resond & I cannot exit (same as with mt -f /dev/st0). And when I check the
status of the process, it again says "down". Again, I cannot kill the process.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Dan
