No. You need to use the non-rewinding device associated with the device. It is not that the tape is rewindable they all are. It is how the device is accessed. For instance if you are using a scsi tape at /dev/st0 the non-rewinding device is /dev/nst0. other wise the tape is rewound after each command. the tape can still be manually rewound with mt rewind. in my amanda.conf on the tape server I have: tapedev "/dev/nst0" # the no-rewind tape device to be used HTH Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
