> > Don't use mount. >
My only use of the mount command was to demonstrate that Windows and CYGWIN knew about the tape drive. Mount with no parameters doesn't change the mount table, does it? I'm not trying to reassociate the Posix device names, I'm merely attempting to use /dev/st0 as it says in the manual: /dev/st0 \device\tape0, rewind /dev/nst0 \device\tape0, no-rewind According to the book, after a boot, if the system finds a tape drive, Posix applications can get to it by referring to /dev/st0. I can't. Again, the *only* use of the mount command was to try and document the problem. Any other ideas? Thanks!
