How to create device for tape backup
I just acquired an IDE tape backup and I believe that this uses ht0
for a device. I've recompiled my kernel, and the kernel recognizes
the device at boot and I have a ht0 listed in /proc/devices, but I
don't have any sort of /dev/ht0 entry to use the device with.
Can someone tell me what the standard way of addressing such a
device is; and perhaps give me a tutorial on using MAKEDEV to create
this device (I thought a MAKEDEV -v update would do the trick).
Thanks much in advance.
