Hi gang,
 
Quick question: how does one access the DDS tape driver from the shell ?
I want to read and write a tape in tar format. When I use the tar command
w/o a filename it says:
 
        tar: opening archive "/dev/tape": No such file or directory
 
There are no files in /dev except for "sad" and "strlog". Do I have to issue
a mknod command, if so, what parameters ? Or am I missing something ? My CD-ROM
is broken so I have no access to the manuals.
 
Any help appreciated.
TIA.
