You haven't told us what kind of tape drive it is so making a prediction about what will fix an unknown problem is a bit tough. There are internal DLT drives. Has the tape been working but just recognized incorrectly? If so, what problem are you really trying to fix? > d) none of the above.. First let's define the problem, if any, and then work towards a fix. If you've been applying kernels regularly but not rebooting, then a reboot might be in order. -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
