Hi,

I am able to see it with the "mt" command. To be honest I am not sure what I
am looking for in /dev. The entries in /dev/rmt were re-created. The only
files modified in /dev from around the time I started this process are:

rmt
sg
fb -> /devices/pci@1f,4000/TSI,gfxp@5:gfxp0
.devfsadm_synch_door
.devfsadm_dev.lock
.devlink_db
fd

Thanks again,

Pete Akre

Hi,

After the reboot, can you see it with, "mt -f /dev/rmt/xxx status" etc ?
Did the /dev files get recreated ?
