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:
If you start running tight on space on that tape, remember to add the z
flag when you create, and read the tape. Then it will compress the data.
Depending on what the data is, it can recover a lot of space.
I'm not a big fan of using compression on the tapes, and I really haven't
tried it.
Thanks...that did the trick. Now all I've got to do is figure out just how
to erase the tape before backing up to it. Or, does that happen
automagically when tar begins to write to the device?
You don't have to. It's done by the tape hardware itself, just like a
regular audio/video tape.
