hi ya bob
you need to remove the file called /dev/ht0
that was created by the tar command when trying to write to tape
that did not work...
you need to create a tape decice called /dev/ht0
and/or ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/ht0 ( donno if it would work )
"MAKEDEV /dev/ht0" should work
now do your tar commands again to /dev/ht0
have fun
