Re: Tape eject from command prompt!!!
Can you get fuser or lsof to tell you who's
using the device? (You might need to check
all the related devices, too.)

Re: Tape eject from command prompt!!!
If your drive path is /dev/rmt/0mn
then give
#mt off
it is in different path then
#mt /dev/rmt/1mn off

This may not solve the problem, but likely you are able to eject the tape.
Hope this helps!

Might this not depend on the type of tape
drive? Has anyone said which kind of tape
drive this is?

Re: Tape eject from command prompt!!!
Another process (a backup) could hang and never come back ... this can keep the device "busy".
Check with fuser.
Hope this helps!
