There is usually a 'rewinding' device name that you can use for the tape drive that will force it to rewind before access - or if you put the commands in your own script you can 'mt rewind' before the write and 'mt offline' after - or rewoffl if your tape doesn't automatically rewind before being ejected. Also, many tape drives require writes to be done in a particular block size. If you need that, use dd as the last element in your pipeline and specify obs=size to make it reblock. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using Tomcat but need to do more?
