Unlike a disk drive, you don't "mount" a tape drive. There is no entry in the fstab file. You just use the device, e.g.: tar cvf /dev/st0 /home to back up /home to the first SCSI tape device. You should be able to use the "mt" commands to find out if your tape device is really connected. Try: mt status to query the tape drive. You should also see something about your tape device in /proc: cat /proc/scsi/scsi Carl Carl G.
