Unhang a tape drive?
Hi:

Anyone know if (and how) a hung tape drive hanging off
of an F840 running V6.1.2 can be reset without rebooting
the fileserver?

I got impatient with a tape erase, power-cycled the
DLT-7000 autoloader, and removed the tape. Now the
fileserver responds with "mt: open of tape nrst0a
failed" whenever a command is set to it. Reinserting
a tape does nothing.
