Just a WAG. Only thing in common is Solaris, but it was 9 vs 10. My mt command often would return while the tape was still rewinding. If run from the command line, I would get the next shell prompt and yet could still hear the tape drive and see the tape's activity lights. Until the tape had actually completed its task, new commands would fail. In my scripts, I had to insert "sleep X" (X to be empirically defined) after mt cmds that might take a significant time. jl -- Jon H.
