Subject: question on MTLIB command...

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
