Keywords: tar cartridge tape Message-ID: <22766@unix.cis.pitt.edu> Date: 7 Mar 90 23:39:52 GMT Distribution: usa Organization: Univ. of Pittsburgh, Computing & Information Services Lines: 12 Could someone please supply the magic argument that will allow tar to find my cartridge tape drive on either a DN4000 or a DN10000, both running SR10.2 ?? I've tried every device in /dev that starts with "r" (rct8, etc.), and a few others that don't even seem likely, but cannot find one that will allow me to write a tar tape. The examples in TFM don't seem to have the answer ... I looked there first. Thanks in advance. Chuck Fuller
