What's up with SCSI tape drives in Debian 1.2?
Everytime I install the distribution I notice that despite configure the
tape driver and seeing the system report st0. I still have to MAKEDEV
nst0 _after making sure that omit stuff is all commented out_ in
/etc/makedev.cfg.
Also, if I interrupt gnutar after creating nst0 and just doing something
like
tar tf /dev/nst0
if I interrupt this I usually expect a rewind of my tape drive to occur
but not is I continue with another tar it will start where it left off.
My drive is a trusty reliable HP 1533A DDS2 mechanism.
