You don´t _mount_ a tape drive. You _t_ape _ar_chive (hence tar) stuff to/from it. Try "tar cv /path/to/file >/dev/st0", then "tar xv </dev/st0" to verify integrity. Tape-drive commands like rewind, erase etc are accessible via the "mt"-util. hth, &rw -- / Robert Waldner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Phone: +43 1 89933 0 Fax x533 \ \ KPNQwest/AT tech staff | Diefenbachg. 35 A-1150 Wien /
