You will need to do: modprobe ide-scsi modprobe osst before the mt command. You can get around that by adding (IIRC): alias char-major-206 osst add below osst ide-scsi to /etc/modules.conf. > Just to report the detail, here's the ls -l for /dev/*st0 > > crw-rw---- 1 roor root 9, 128 Oct 26 2002 /dev/nst0 > crw-r--r-- 1 roor root 206, 0 Oct 26 2002 /dev/osst0 > crw-rw---- 1 roor root 9, 0 Oct 26 2002 /dev/st0 Stupid, eh? You'll need to do: mkdir /dev/nosst0 c 206 128 And: mkdir /dev/nosst1 c 206 129 if you have a second tape drive (etc). But why anyone would buy a *second* Onstream tape drive is beyond me :-) -- 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
