Hello,

I have recently installed a SCSI tape drive in my FBSD box:

Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle
sa0 at sym0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0
sa0: <SEAGATE DAT    04106-XXX 743B> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2
device 
sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15)

I then tried to actually put some files on the tape using tar and had the
following message in 'demsg':

Dec 21 10:38:11 taco kernel: (sa0:sym0:0:6:0): lost device
Dec 21 10:38:11 taco kernel: (sa0:sym0:0:6:0): failed to write terminating
filemark(s)
Dec 21 10:38:12 taco kernel: (sa0:sym0:0:6:0): tape is now frozen- use an
OFFLINE, REWIND or MTEOM command to clear this state.
Dec 21 10:38:12 taco kernel: (sa0:sym0:0:6:0): removing device entry

I have no clue how to add the device entry again, I tried rebooting the box.
I even tried some commands with 'devfs'... and got no where.

Any ideas...

Thanks.
