Fundamentally, one would not try to tar to /dev/st0/home/whatever. The tape doesn't have a filesystem. to the OP - just use /dev/st0. You aren't going to be able to access the tape as a disk, so don't try to do so: there is no real concept of a 'root' directory or what have you on a tape, and you don't really need it anyway, because it's where you are in the filesystem when you *restore* that determines where the data is going to end up. > Ric
