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.

NMK.
