Standard Unix permissions thing: Check the account under which you tried
the command against the /dev/rmt* permissions settings; adjust settings
if appropriate, else invoke from an account with has the needed group
affiliation, or as superuser.

Hi all,

I was under the impression I could use the following MTLIB command to
see what volume is mounted in a drive

mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -f /dev/rmt# -qD

but when i try to use the command on a drive that i know has a volume
mounted, i get the following error message...

# mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -f /dev/rmt7 -qD
mtlib: Unable to open device special file /dev/rmt7 (errno = 11):
Resource temporarily unavailable

what is the point of querying the drive if you can't query the drive
when it has a volume in it?

thanks,

scott
