Hello Fellows! I need some help... when I use the "mt -f /dev/rmt/0cbn offline" command and the device is not plugged to the data cable it hangs and there is no kill that will terminate the the process other than a reset of the workstation. Before someone tells me to connect the device.. I work testing tape backup drives, 24 drives are tested at once and if one has a bad interface card, the same as having the cable disconnected, the device will hang until the next reset. I tried resetting the device card via an utility provided by the vendor. In the messages log I see how the card resets and comes online again, but the kernel will not release the device, keep getting device busy when trying to access the device. If I close the xterm where I ran the command the PPID changes to 1. Does anyone knows of a way to stop this type of command? Why don't I get a drive not present or I/O error message? By the way the device type is fibre channel.
Enlighten me please... Pablo L. Robles _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
