i need to mount a tape drive in order to make backups. trouble is, i cant physically get to the linux box in order to see where it is. does the text displayed at bootup (kernel messages, that display for example all detected hard drives etc) get saved anywhere in redhat? suse keeps it in /var/log/boot.msg. i couldnt find anything equivalent in redhat (/var/log/boot.log is empty).
any other ideas how to track down this tape drive? ive tried just running fdisk on everything that isnt already mounted, both hdX and sdX (this has a couple scsi drives), but no help. arent tape drives typically treated just like hard drives? is there a way to dig up what exact tape drive this is, without having to go physically look at the box? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
