Hiya
I've written a small script that backs up data to a tape, rewinds it,
then reads back the data that was stored as a test.
The problem I've run into is that 'mt rewind' is asynchronous, and
subsequent tape operations will fail until the rewind operation has
finished.
Is there a way to find out when the tape has finished rewinding, or at
least to rewind synchronously? The drive is an ATA Seagate STT2401A.
Cheers,
Hi Jon,
How about simply accessing the rewinding version of the device? (e.g.
/dev/st0 instead of /dev/nst0)
Kind regards,
Alex.
