Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.93.2i Organization: Karl's Sushi and Packet Smashers X-Die-Spammers: Spammers cheerfully broiled for supper and served with ketchup! Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi folks, Well, I'm in for it now ;-) I'm going to have to start supporting ATAPI tape drives on FreeBSD for some business associates - they're too cheap to go SCSI. Some of these (if not all) require formatting, right? This leads to the obvious question: How do you format a tape for these drives under FreeBSD? :-) Anything else I should know offhand other than "plug it in and use dump like everything else"? -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@denninger.net) Web: http://childrens-justice.org Isn't it time we started putting KIDS first?
