Hi there ... I've got a SCSI tape drive in my box ... and have a question. Why when you check dmesg, the tape gets probed as st0. I deducted that this is SCSI TAPE #1. But when you tar or dump some filesystem, you must use /dev/nrst0. Where does the nr come from. Also, after you have tar -czvf /dev/nrsto /usr/local/httpd (as an examole), it runs fine. But how do you untar the files from the tape. xzvf doesn't do it for me. And how can you list what is on the tape. Like tar -tzvf ??? Thanks -Jacques ------------------------------------------------------ The box said "Requires Windows 3.1 or better" ... so I got BSD System Administrator | Jacques Hugo UNIX Systems | jacques@wired.ctech.ac.za Cape Technikon | +27-21-4603584 ------------------------------------------------------
