It has been backing up nightly to a SCSI tape drive. Now I want to restore that tape to another system. Old system is RH7 new system is 7.2 I can't seem to get the tape drive to mount, i have tried mount /dev/st0 /mnt/tape and various other stx devices as well as sgx devices, each time I am told that the device is not a block device. Now I know it can be done because it was done on the system that is currently dead, but obviously I can't check to see what I did different. Any help appreciated _________________________________________ Simon Bryan IT Manager - OLMC Parramatta ICQ#:137562751 http://www.olmc.nsw.edu.au _________________________________________ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
