Hi

<pre>

I get this under /dev/rmt/

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 42 Aug 10 13:33 0 -> ../../devices/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1/st@5,0:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 43 Aug 10 13:33 0b -> ../../devices/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1/st@5,0:b

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 44 Aug 10 13:33 0hn -> ../../devices/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1/st@5,0:hn



What is the difference between the all these devices? they all look like the same. Have I created too many unused symbolic links? I have only got one dat drive.

Also when I use:

<pre>

mt -f /dev/rmt/0 rewind and
mt -f /dev/rmt/0cn rewind
</PRE>

what is the difference??
I went through the 'man mt' but didn't help much.
Can somebody make it clear for me please?

Thanks very much.
