Hi,


I've been taking tape backups for quite some time now, and everything is
working fine, but: I never found out what the devices
  *sa0.0
  *sa0.1
  *sa0.2
  *sa0.3
are good for. I understand sa0, nsa0, esa0 and even the sa0.ctl device,
but the dot-numbered things are beyond me... are they for tapes with
partitions on them?


I'm using 4.1-STABLE if that's of any relevance.


Greetings,
	Bernd
