The kernel has the autoclean feature to reclain space from transiently present devices (pccard, usb devices) which tend not to be set up permanently with kudzu or otherwise configured. in the case of a tape drive, it is sort of a coin toss --- I would rather pay the minimal space penalty and place the request in /etc/modules.conf, and not have to think about loading the device. -- Russ Herrold
