Hi, Last week I successfully installed version 7.2 and all appears to be running fine. However I installed a backup script from another system which ran fine the first time through but on subsequent runs fails to find the tape drive. On investigation it would appear that the link file in /dev has been deleted. There was originally an entry called /dev/st0 and this is no longer here. There are entries for st0a st0l st0m If I use HardDrake the device is displayed correctly. . Does any one know of a quick way of recreating this device in /dev. The DLT drive is the only device on an Adaptec 2940 SCSI card. Thanks in anticipation Peter Turner Ulysses Ltd T 0116 210 3333 F 0116 210 3337 W www.ulysses.uk.com
