It comes back with : bash-2.04# mt -f /dev/pass2 status mt: /dev/pass2: Operation not permitted Are you saying i should be able to access /dev/pass2 as a regular tape drive ? i read somewhere sometimes you have to use the changer as tapedev, tried that tho, same results.

Re: ibm ultrium lto library/tape loader using chg-zd-mtx(freebsd)(amanda2.4.4)
Yup. I was trying to set up amanda using chg-zd-mtx. mtx -f /dev/sg5 yielded info on the changer, and mtx -f /dev/sg4 yielded info on the drive so I figured tapedev should be /dev/sg4. When I couldn't get the tests to work, I looked at the script and discovered that in the places it accesses tapedev, it uses the mt command. So, I changed my tapedev to /dev/nst0 (the "no-rewind" device I usually use with mt), and it worked like a charm. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to enable host control of compression on my Dell PowerVault 120T DDS4.
