Actually, for the Onstream, you may want /dev/nosst0. Onstream appear not to understand open source, and forked the st driver, rather than add on option to it to handle their non-standard protocol. Hence osst.o (for Onstream st.o). Beware that prior to RedHat 9, RH RPMs didn't include /dev/nosst0, just /dev/osst0. -- Charlie ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ flexbackup-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flexbackup-help
