Tape drive problems.

Hi,
        I have a DLT8000 that is performing badly. To verify that the drive was the problem
I swapped the drive from another machine and confirmed that the drive was the problem.
I have moved the original drive back. I issued an "mt status" command on the drive but the mt command
won't complete. I can't kill the process and can't do anything with the drive. When swapping I did not
take the precaution of unloading the st module which I probably should have. I can't unload the st module now because
it is in use. Is there any way to recover from this without rebooting?

Thanks,
