I get this error when check the status of my virtual tape.

amanda@zeus ~ $ /usr/sbin/ammt -f /backup/vtapes/ydra/slots status
/backup/vtapes/ydra/slots status failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

My vtape partition is in is own partition as rerpoted by mount
/dev/sdc1 on /backup/vtapes/ydra type jfs (rw)


And here is dmesg relative ouput for the usb diks and usb-storage

I read about a similar error in this post
http://forums.zmanda.com/showthread.php?t=462&highlight=ioctl

A guy solve a similar problem on debian passing this option to configure
"--with-maxtapeblocksize=64"

I go to test this on gentoo an report if this works on gentoo .
