Interesting sysctl.

If I got it right it tells me, that da13e is opened for read/write.
da13 is an MO driver and I can't eject the media, because it's locked.
The media was never mounted since booting.
I never complained about this, because the system is rather old
(2002-11-15) and I believed it was already fixed.
But it sounds like Joergs situation may be triggered by the same bug.
Mmmm - I'm using vinum too.
Is there any way to find out which ones open it was?
