Re: partition full, recreating a tape device

 Greetings. This is regarding a FSBD 4.10-RELEASE system.
 
 df -h shows the root file system is 109 percent utilized:
 
 Filesystem  Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
 /dev/aacd0s1a   126M   126M  -9.9M   109%/
 
 The culprit is a rewindable tape drive in /dev. It shows up as an ordinary 
 file, not as a device (like the nonrewindable device, /dev/nsa1):
 
 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  83046400 Nov 20 01:02 /dev/nsa1
 crw-r-  1 root  wheel   14,  16 Nov 24 05:50 /dev/rsa1
 
 Question: How do I correct this so that:
 
 1. /dev/nsa1 shows up as a regular device; and
 2. /dev/nsa1 doesn't fill up the filesystem

Remove /dev/nsa1, and run ./MAKEDEV sa1, which will recreate all the
device nodes for sa1, including nsa1.

Worked like a charm. Thanks for your speedy reply!
