When i've merged the functionality of the old st(8) program into mt(1), i've been asking this list about this. Funny, no response. People using a tape drive that is correctly supported by the driver, and who use only dump(8) to backup their files might not need it, but all other ones will love it. (The reason: correctly detected drives will operate with the right blocksize out of the box, and restore has an option to advance the tape to any tape file.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
