Description Christian Weisgerber 2001-02-21 15:50:01 UTC
devfs uses an obsolete set of SCSI tape device names:
    rsaN.ctl, rsaN*, nrsaN*, ersaN*

Some time ago the tape device names were brought in line with the
other devices and the 'r' (for "raw device") was stripped:
    saN.ctl, saN*, nsaN*, esaN*
devfs should follow this convention as well.

Also see the sa(4) man page.

This is not picking on you or anybody else, I just want to note that
devfs doesn't decide naming.  Drivers do.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
