Tape Reset?????
I'm changing from SCO UNIX to Red Hat Linux. In the UNIX box when backing up my data to tape I usually do this:
tape reset sleep 5 nohup tar ................... I want to know if there is a way to do "tape reset" in Red Hat Linux. |

I can only presume your tape reset function is a script of sorts.
I presume again that all it does is rewnd the tape. this can be done as follows. mt -f /dev/rmt/tl5 rewind /dev/rmt/tl5 being the device id of the physical tape drive unit. Hope that helps U4ia-F8 |
