In this context, "count" is a number. I haven't used mt(1) in quite a while, but I don't think I ever used more than one of {files, records, setmarks} on the same tape, andoffhand I can't think of a reason for doing so. If you only put one backup on a given tape, you wouldn't use any of them. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
