Greetings,
I am trying to test a piece of software which uses the rmt program in
/usr/sbin/rmt.
On BSDi, this remote backup procedure worked fine. I have recently scrapped
BSDi and put Linux on my workstation, and it seems to be having some minor
difficulties.
My guess is that the problem might have something to do with device names.
On BSDi, the tape device name was either /dev/rst0 or /dev/nrst0 where we can
only use /dev/nrst0 because we want a no-rewind device.
On Linux I assume they are /dev/st0 and /dev/rst0. At least /dev/st0 works
with tar. Are these the correct device names?
The rmt protocol seems to partially work, at least the machine connects,
rewinds the tape, and after attempting to write, it dies at writing the
tapemark.
Anyone have some insight on this?
Thanks,
-dan
