Occasionally I have had luck with manually putting the tape in the tape
drive (with the front panel controls) that networker thinks it is ejecting,
running the nsrjb -HE, then restarting the automatic eject process.

Hello list,

Networker is trying to eject a tape from a tape drive in one of my L1000
libraries. The drive is empty but the eject doesn't fail, it just never
finishes.

I have tried to reset the drive with nsrjb -j SUN_L1000-1 -HEv -f
/dev/rmt/2cbn but that fails with a message saying that the drive is busy
ejecting. I get the same message when I try to just disable the drive.

The commands, lsof and fuser show me that no process has the device file
open. Is there any way to correct this short of stopping/starting nsrd?

Server - Sun E250 / Solaris 2.6 / Networker 6.1.3

Thanks,
