Well I know for example mt -f /dev/st0 status
Will cause the tape to rewind to the beginning after the completeing the command, whereas mt -f /dev/nst0 Will not. The tape will remain where it 'finished the command' Hope that does some good. -mj >>> "Wayne Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Friday, October 25, 2002 >>> I just bought a Tecmar Travan NS20 IDE tape drive. Took me a while to figure out that I should use the IDE-SCSI shim to get it to work. One question. There are 4 modes for the driver, tied to device names /dev/st0, /dev/st0l, /dev/st0m, and /dev/st0a. Anyone know what the different modes are? I would guess that one is with compression on. Anyone know which does what? I've started running typetype, but if the research I found is true, it'll take 5 hours for each device type. Thanks.
