I have a Seagate STT8000A IDE tape drive which up until a couple of days ago, was working perfectly. That was under kernel 2.4.9-686. Over the weekend, I upgraded to 2.4.17-686, and now I get 'Device or resource busy' whenever I try to access the tape. lsof and fuser do not report the device in use; ps shows no processes that could be using the tape. I've looked for some information on the internet, but I haven't found a similar case anywhere. Particulars: kernel-image-2.4.17-686 (Debian package) append 'hdc=ide-tape' in lilo.conf tape drive attached at /dev/hdc (secondary master) /dev/tape points to /dev/ht0 (first and only tape in the system) Any ideas?
