(*) I used to say "on all linux versions", but it seems there are different implementations in different versions. Some systems can control the tapesettings with the file /etc/stinit.def (see "man stinit" if that exists).Yes. I think maybe you can do something like that on this one (Red Hat.)
It's the "stinit" program, which is included in the "mt-st" package, that allows this, but as far as I can tell, it's not actually used in the default setup.
