Has anyone added a second exabyte to the MIPS M/120? On our system, exabyte 0 is unit 5, and exabyte 1 is set to unit 3. After typing: mknod /dev/rmt/rwex1 c 16 48 (48 = minor number for unit 3 from /dev/scsi), rebooting and then trying mt -f /dev/rmt/rwex1 status we get the error 'no such device.' Configuring with different unit numbers gives the same error. The second exabyte works correctly when connected alone as unit 5. Both exabytes are set with switches 1..4 on, 5..8 off, as suggested in the release notes. Currently we have disconnected the internal tape drive (unit 6) and are using the second exabyte as unit 6. Has anyone else run into this problem? Richard Teuscher teuscher@utorphys
