The part I fail to see in this explanation is why the nst/st/st*a/st*m/etc handles are being treated as separate devices. They aren't. They are all the same physical tape device, so why are the nst devices being handled separately from the st ones? Maybe the problem is that you have to many "workers" for the tape device. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJS76ykAAoJEL5i86xrzcy7MKMH/0upLuOBOJWzdOfKYq0WmIvZ eIaaZG2vhckYeS2zZtim5uVFQDp5eTOirmjxfwSGzSTSAmNrQJwzZvBO/vA2/Kqk wZSKXp/ZGZhw11+6Kg8f1EArQQwT/i3R6BKglLELFvZVvNOUg3KCnd6nE/4k7ysh H3f6+6/Jb1wUA6h7a65BG7VBQlJ3HqVe01vYTrkb3eYW7IWfN0tX2FMdqYt2zon2 Yo6TRxhTE/dmqJhg8nLB+fA8rUwW7CYU/IX8nsKNn9lPaDdoJ6g22ozpJRrtEZZ+ lt/qL3VxfWu38z0GWhuKuOqY969bMlyaphY7bOgf7LY4osiC7OgarVoxSIgfP9E= =pIPt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
