I would certainly like that sg access could not "interfere" with
osst while it is in control, but there would obviously have to be
a way to assign individual devices to specific drivers (as in tape1
is handled by st and tape2 by sg). And that would have to be dynamic
(as in I did a backup on tape1 with osst and now I want to tinker
with another tape using sg). Such mechanism doesn't exist, I think.
Thanks, Willem Riede.
