Hemchand, a tape is a character device. It cannot be mounted. You cannot use regular operations like cp, rm, mv on character devices. Example, if your tape drive is /dev/st0, the following commands are invalid: cp some_file.txt /dev/st0 rm -f /dev/st0/some_file.txt Hope you get the idea. To manipulate tape drives, you need to understand the mt command. Regards, NMK.
