Drive's library busy

[Eleonora]

Hi, i have a library with 28 slots. This morning one drive is still busy with one tape inside.
I try to clean drives, to empty drive from admin panel, but nothing to do!
What can i do?
Thanks a lot

Hi there.
Did you take the drive offline ?
Maybe these commands can help :


mc -p /dev/robotdevice -r S ( shows all empty slots )

mc -p /dev/robotdevice -sD1 -dS5 ( takes the tape from drive 1 to slot 5 ( if slot is empty ) )

mt -t /dev/rmt/1m rew ( rewinds the tape in drive 1 )

mt -t /dev/rmt/1m offl ( takes the tape in drive 1 offline )
