Hi All,

The SunOS 'mt' has an option called 'eom' -- end of media. I wonder
whether there is any equivalent 'mt' available on FreeBSD (the one
comes with the standard installation does not support this option)? I
wonder whether this is something to do with the SCSI tape device
driver?

Many Thanks,

Athula.
