IIRC some tape drives can seek, while others cannot. Vague memories that it is supposed to be possible to put a filesystem on a DECtape and mount the filesystem. It might be that FreeBSD doesn't currently support seeking on a tape, but we shouldn't paint ourselves into a corner by assuming that it is fundimentally impossible. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
