is there a way to find out what position the tape in a scsi tape drive is at? when i used to use an exabyte drive on IRIX, mt status would tell me if the tape was rewound, or what fileno/blockno the tape was positioned at. mt status on freebsd with a HP Colorado T4000 drive just gives: Present Mode: Density = 0x45 Blocksize = 512 bytes ---------available modes--------- Mode 0: Density = 0x00 Blocksize variable Mode 1: Density = X3.136-1986 Blocksize = 512 bytes Mode 2: Density = X3.39-1986 Blocksize variable Mode 3: Density = X3.54-1986 Blocksize variable -- Jon Drukman jsd@gamespot.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Fear the government that fears your computer.
