Re: [Networker] Clearing a Stuck Tape Drive

Marek,

Process Explorer from www.sysinternals.com will show you what nsrmmd process
is controlling which tape drive and allow you to kill it.

Justin, in the "Task  Manager" (as far as I know) there is no info which
nsrmdd process uses which tape drive.

I have two drivers connected to my NW server and usually two or more nsrmmd
processes are working during backups, if one tape drive becomes stuck (in
my case it is usually the one in a jukebox) I need to kill _all_ nsrmdd
processes in order to do something (unmount) with the tape in the drive.
With help of program mentioned by you I could kill only one nsrmmd process
thus avoid breaking second backup (the one going to the other drive).
