> # mt -f /dev/st0 fsf 1 Personnally, I've not been able to make this work when I have multiple sessions on a tape...
Instead, I use tar -t to jump to the next session. Example: (assuming you've set the $TAPE environment variable) % mt rew % tar c one % tar c two % tar c three % mt rew % tar t one % tar t % tar t two % tar t % tar t three "When tar writes to the tape, it writes the file, then writes two "tape marks" at the end of the file, to signify the end of the archive. When you read the tape again, an extra read (the extra tar t) is required to "skip over" the extra tape mark." See http://www.pop.psu.edu/help/file-management/using-tar.htm ("Advanced stuff" section) I hope this helps you... -- Vincent ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
