When this box was running RH, I would backup using my Onstream tape drive thusly:
tar cvbf 64 /dev/ht0 /stuff /moreStuff With my recent Debian install, this no longer works, giving me a "device full" error. But, with the 2.2.19 kernel included with Debian, the Onstream driver is included in the kernel. Looking at dmesg, I see that the Onstream drive is recognized as hdc. Not being all that familiar with /dev, should I now be using /dev/hdc instead of /dev/ht0 ? If so, how would that work with rewind devices? -- Robert Koss, Ph.D. | Training, Mentoring, Contract Development Senior Consultant | Object Oriented Design, C++, Java www.objectmentor.com | Extreme Programming
