Greetings - I've tried reading the st() and mt() man pages, but I'm not finding any "how to" information on this. Does anyone know how to write in low density mode (2GB) on a high density Exabyte 8500 tape drive (5GB mode is default). In Solaris there is a seperate device node for each density (lo, med, hi). However, in FreeBSD I am under the impression that I have to send an IOCTL to the driver with an external command, but what? Any help would be appreciated.
