What's the meaning of all the tape device path usage ? Compress, un-compress?
/dev/rmt/0m /dev/rmt/c6t1d0BESTn
/dev/rmt/0mb /dev/rmt/c6t1d0BESTnb
/dev/rmt/0mn /dev/rmt/c6t1d0DDS
/dev/rmt/0mnb /dev/rmt/c6t1d0DDSb
/dev/rmt/c6t1d0BEST /dev/rmt/c6t1d0DDSn
/dev/rmt/c6t1d0BESTb /dev/rmt/c6t1d0DDSnb
Solved! Go to Solution.

Solution"b" means berkeley-style tape behavior, without "b" : AT&T-style behavior
BEST means that the highest-capacity density format will be used, including data compression, if the device supports compression
DDS : selects one of the known DDS formats; can be used to specify DDS1 or DDS2, as required.

Re: Info on tape device path
You can also get detail about that particular device by doing lssf.
For e.g.
# lssf /dev/rmt/c6t1d0BESTn
# lssf /dev/rmt/c6t1d0BESTnb
....
It will give you all the device details.
Hope that helps.
Regards,

It's 2 sources of unix different, for example SUN uses berkeley style whereas HP uses AT&T style.
In fact this is 2 university different that made it UNIX code...
