Is this a known >bug, are there any patches or is it fixed in a more recent version? When running a backup with tbtape, and a request for a tape change comes along, its best to change the tape asap. If while waiting for a tape change, a checkpoint request comes up, the system will hang. A checkpoint CANNOT complete, while tbtape is waiting for a new tape to be mounted. >I hope this wasn't covered in the FAQ, I certainly didn't see any >mention of it. There is some mention of this in the doc's, but I do not recall where.
