hi, I just bought a HP-DAT drive. It works great, except for searching within archives. When I use Linux, there is a program called dds2tar that uses a MTSEEK call to position the heads within an archive so it can extract files very quickly. However, fbsd does not have this. Is there a patch that either implements a seek command or let's you read the current position of the heads? Oh, I use FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE. -- Marijn --- Waiting for inspiration is a big frustration To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
