i don't know if this is the right place, if not please re-direct me before shooting :-) we have a tape changer (QUALSTAR TLS-4222i), with 2 scsi tapes, now since both tar and dump understand -f host:/dev/sa, the next thing i did was to make mt (MT(1)) understand it, so that i now can manipulate the tape from afar, without having access permitions to host. the next step it to see how - if at all - mt should understand things like: 'host:/dev/sa0:115' meaning mount tape 115 on /dev/sa0 or more ambitious: 'host:/dev/tape:100@10:45pm' mount tape number 100, on any free device not earlier than 10:45pm if you can see where im going to, and have suggestions, they are welcome. danny To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
