"man st" claims that (a) this was a SCSI tape; and (b) this has been deprecated in favour of the sa(4) driver. 1. Ensure your /dev/sa0 &co. device files exist. 2. Update your backup program, or specify the correct device file for it to use 3. At a pinch, if your backup program doesn't grok sa, you might create symlinks from /dev/st to /dev/sa but there's no guarantee that any special ioctls will work across both devices. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287088 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 http://ioctl.org/jan/ "No generalised law is without exception."
