To add to Bjoern Fischer's response concerning MO drives' ability to pretend to be hard disks, albeit with filesystem and block size issues, you can get some software - divers and filesystems - from one of my former employers, Tracer Technologies <www.tracertech.com>. This software will enable you to mange your drive and media on Solaris. They have Linux support as well, although no FreeBSD yet. They do use FreeBSD, nevertheless. You can download the software and use or get free evaluation license keys. See their web site for more info. -Andrew- -- _______________________________________________________________________ | -Andrew J.
