I'm using a TAPE streamer at the moment but don't have any idea how to use this device<br />
<br />
i used:<br />
mt -f /dev/st0 erase #to delete all the files on it!<br />
<br />
How do i put files on the tape device? i know you can use TAR and CPIO, but how ?<br />
And i also couldn't find how to read what is on the disk and how to withdraw it.<br />
<br />
ps: do i need to create a partition on a empty tape ?<br />
thnx in advance
