Byron,

The -D3 option sounds useful. I do not see this option in the man pages,
though. How do I tell NetWorker to run nsrmmd with this option when it
starts up?

I took a look at /usr/src/linux-2.4/include/scsi/sg.h and it indicates:

Version: 3.1.24 (20020505)
This version is for 2.4 series kernels.

Not sure that this is the one we're using, though?
