The tape devices with an "n" do not rewind on close. If you've been using "/dev/rst0", backup to "/dev/nrst0" instead. To get the tape to rewind at the end, either backup the last filesystem to the regular device (without the "n") or use "mt rewind" when you are done. > Also, if I tell it not to rewind the tape, how would restore work then? restore takes an argument "s" that tells it which once you want. If you want to restore the second filesystem on the tape, you might use "restore rs 2". -- Matthew Hunt * Think locally, act globally. http://mph124.rh.psu.edu/~mph/pgp.key for PGP public key 0x67203349.
