[sameer_4]

Hi ,
/dev/rmt/0m at&t best density available ^?? ??
???? ?? /dev/rmt/0mb berkeley best density available ?? ??
I see the 2 device files for the same tape ie AT & T and Berkley but i see the berkley is not working for me when i use tar on HP 11.0.

Any clues

Hi

Can you post the output of

ioscan -fnC tape
lssf /dev/rmt/0mb
ll /dev/rmt/0m*

your command when you attempted to tar your file to tape

Your error message

Thanks

Steve

Hi

Have you tried with /dev/rmt/c0t3d0BESTnb
as the device file

tar -cvf /dev/rmt/c0t3d0BESTnb /

Does fbackup work when attempting to use

/dev/rmt/0mb

Do you have any errors or does it just hang ?

Regards

Steve
