Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask.
I'm running 2.1.105.

My tape drive often gets stuck:

[root@jlinux jean]# lsmod
Module Size Used by
ppp 20096 2 (autoclean)
slhc 4356 1 (autoclean) [ppp]
zftape 57188 -1
ftape 102764 0 (autoclean) [zftape]
slip 5108 2 (autoclean)
[root@jlinux jean]# fuser /dev/nqft0
[root@jlinux jean]# mt -f /dev/nqft0 status
/dev/nqft0: Device or resource busy
[root@jlinux jean]# rmmod zftape
rmmod: zftape: Device or resource busy

Any other way to fix this than a reboot?

Please reply be email.

Many thanks.

Jean.
