Well yeah to remove or change it. However that could mean backups would
appear to work and when a real problem arrises it would not be known?
I think that the modification of the mt commands and the e-smith backup is a
last case solution and certainly needs to be forgotten about until we
isolate why mt is failing. Firmware or drivers...
Cheers,
Richard.
