yes, you are missing the unix paradigm that everything's a file, so it doesn't matter whether you are tar'ing to /dev/rdiskette0 or /dev/fd (device vs. mount point (at least according to /etc/vold.conf and /etc/vfstab, i haven't used the floppy on the solaris machine for ages)). actually, using a mount point has the advantage that a real computer doesn't let you eject the floppy while it's still mounted and the tar is not yet written completely. rj _______________________________________________ OpenCA-Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openca-devel
