Try talking to /dev/rsa0 for the rewind on close device and /dev/nrsa0 for the no rewind on close device. so, if you tar or dump/resore to/from /dev/rsa0, the tape will be rewound when the operation is completed. Using /dev/nrsa0, the tape will stay at it's last position. /dev/nrsa0 is good for putting multiple archives on the same tape. Mark > > I have a DDS-III drive in my FreeBSD 3.2 box.
