You don't mount a tape drive. You just use dump/restore or tar to/from it. If it is detected at boot then you can manipulate the tape with the mt command. If you had supplied the device name I could have given you the commands for dumping etc. But for now read the manpages for dump, restore, mt (and perhaps a reread of tar could be of some benefit) For the flags of dump I use '-0uaf /dev/nrsa0' for a level0 (dump everything) dump. /Micke ---------------------------------- Michael Josefsson, MSEE mj@isy.liu.se This message was sent by XFMail running on FreeBSD 3.1 ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
