Hi This is an answer to jim rees who had troubles to R/W 1/4" tape between apollo and sun. We had also some troubles , so now we do the following and it works very often ... 1 - To Write a tape from apollo to sun we use this 2 commands : $ rbak -dev c -rewind { Put the tape at load point } $ tar cvbf 1 /dev/rct8 directory_or_file_to_copy 2 - To Read a tape comming from an apollo on a sun. $ mt -f /dev/rst8 rew { Put the tape at load point } $ tar xvbf 1 /dev/rst8 { extract the archive from the tape } This works here we have suns and apollo, all the troubles seems to come of the length of blocks , by precising "1" it's OK. We use BSD4.3 (10.1/2/3) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------| bonnetf@apo.esiee.fr | | Frank Bonnet | Surfing ... | E.S.I.E.E | | BP99 93162 Noisy le Grand cedex.FRANCE. | the rest is details ! | Fax : 33 1 45 92 66 99 | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
