AFAIK, no command from mt except a rewind (if there is unwritten data still in the drives buffer) will cause any data to goto the tape medium. 'mt' is an adjusting tool, and an inquiry tool, but is not normally considered a tape writer other than the above rather singular condition. And its not mt that does that buffer flushing, its the drive making sure that everything that was written actually gets to the tape surface. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.07% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
