Everytime I install the distribution I notice that despite configure the tape driver and seeing the system report st0. I still have to MAKEDEV nst0 _after making sure that omit stuff is all commented out_ in /etc/makedev.cfg.
Also, if I interrupt gnutar after creating nst0 and just doing something like tar tf /dev/nst0 if I interrupt this I usually expect a rewind of my tape drive to occur but not is I continue with another tar it will start where it left off. My drive is a trusty reliable HP 1533A DDS2 mechanism. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
