First, I would like to thank all those who responded and helped me resolve
my tape drive woes. I have finally succeeded in writing to tape. Now i am
trying to mount the tape as a block device so i can read it as suggested in
the device drivers doc.
I do a... mknod /dev/btibm0 b 254 4
and a.. mknod /dev/btibm1 b 254 5
and linux accepts this without complaining and shows up in /dev
I then do a....mount -t iso9660 -o -ro,block=2048 /dev/btibm1 /mnt
i get as a response....
mount: /dev/btibm1: unknown device
I guess no pain no gain.. :)
Once again....TIA
