After I do my amdump in the crontab I was thinking about ejecting the tape. And since I am not using a changer in the config the only way I have found so far is to use the mt command. It seems that in the archives that there are two different methods used in the following situation:
0 3 * * 1-5 /usr/local/sbin/amdump DailySet1 && mt -f /dev/nst0 rewoffl 0 3 * * 1-5 /usr/local/sbin/amdump DailySet1 && mt -f /dev/st0 rewoffl The difference being how the device is called (nst0 vs. st0). Since I am now using the magnetic tape command from the system do I still need to reference the nst0 device which is used in the amdump. What problems or issues would it cause in either method?
