scsi tape

[Erez Doron]

hi

i have a idat400 hp scsi tape. the kernel Identifies it, and i have /dev/*st0* char devices.
but whenever i access the tape via tar or mt, i get - no such file or directory.

i didn't use scsi tapes in linux for about 5 years, and i was amazed that the scsi tape is a char device and not a block device, but /proc/devices recognized 9 st char devices and no st block device, the st man page also claims that it is a block device.

anyone has experiance with scsi tapes and can help ?

cheers,
erez.
