Hello all,

 I am fairly new to Linux Administration, new enough to not know very much
about tape drives at all. I have a Sony DAT SCSI tape drive that uses 4
GIG/8 GIG with hardware compression tapes. I am trying to set it up with
AMANDA but I have no idea which device is the no-rewind tape device and
not even the faintest clue about how to tell if hardware compression is
enabled or disabled.

 Is there anyone out there that can guide me to any resources that will
help me out, or better yet tell me how to know what tape devices are what
in Red Hat Linux release 6.1 (Cartman) Kernel 2.2.12-20 on an i586? Any
help will be greatly appreciated.

 Thanks for your time
 Isaac D. Flemming
