I was running 'mt erase' and it seemed to take a long time to complete,
and so I tried to kill it. No luck. kill -9 doesn't kill it either. I then
tried power-cylcling the tape drive (it's an external 8mm drive). No luck.
The process still won't go away, and 'mt stat' tells me that the device is
busy.
Any ideas on how to kill this thing without bringing the system down (not
an option until late tonight)?
Thanks,
Scott Garman
