Hi world, > I've been using the following syntax in my script: > > tar -cv /dev/nrst0 /foo > tar -cv /dev/nrst0 /bar > tar -cv /dev/nrst0 /foobar Uhmmmm, you DO mean 'tar -cvf /dev/nrst0 /foo', right? Otherwise your problem is pretty obvious - tar defaults to use /dev/rst0 (but a backup of the /dev/nrst0 device is allways nice ;-). I realize that the missing 'f' probably is a typo. OTOH it would account for the behaviour that you see. > When I check the tape the next morning, I do: > > mt rewind > (tape already seems to be rewound) > tar -tv > (yields the tar of foobar - the last from the list) > mt fsf 1 > (nothing seems to happen) > tar -tv > (yields the tar of foobar - the last from the list) Have a nice day Flemming -- Flemming Jacobsen It'll probably say something like "Does not TRW Financial Systems, Denmark compute" or "Inoperative parameters".
