I think the core dump problem has been fixed recently, but nevertheless mt(1) doesn't report any useful status about wt-style drives (since it doesn't know about them).

It would reduce the time i need for fixing if somebody would drop a wt-style tape drive on me. :-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
