Hi there.

I have a problem.

I have 150MB SCSI-streamer under a 2.3.2GT and I am trying to write
with it 60MB tape format. It is possible when I use tar-command, but
cpio command doesn't include any options about the tape density.

It is possible, if I can make a device for a streamer, which tells
to the opsys and streamer to use 60MB tape format. But how I can
make such kind a device? Any idea, about major and minor numbers?

Any other solutions?
