I've put this line at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local. And I have to specify the block size when I use tar. Therefore I have defined two aliases in my .bashrc: alias ntar='tar -b 128 -p -v -f /dev/nst0' alias star='tar -b 128 -p -v -f /dev/st0' [snip] > #more /proc/scsi/scsi > Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00 > Vendor: ARCHIVE Model: Python 04106-XXX Rev: 743B > Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 You should have a look on the support websites of the manufacturer of your drive.
