Re: [SLUG] mt for backup to DAT tape

[Ben Donohue <donohueb@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Mick,
that worked. mt installed now.

now i'm trying to figure out what device it is...
I have two DAT drives connected via SCSI.
the command
|mt -f /dev/st0 status
says no such file or directory.

Are these devices supposed to be detected on startup?
Or do I make the directories and then they will be detected, or 
different devices not st0 or st1?
I'm currently looking for info on this but any pointers greatly appreciated.

Ben
