[H-GEN] tape drives

[Luke Grant]

(Note reply-to: being general at humbug.org.au vs "Luke Grant" <skywalke at webexpress.net.au>)

trying to do a tape backup using tar in redhat 5.2

the following command line worked fine in slackware running kernel 2.0.29
but wont run in redhat.

tar -czlpf /dev/nht0   .

have also tried the following in case the device was different.

tar -czlpf /dev/hd0  .
tar -czlpf /dev/rmt0  .


was wondering what command would write to a tape drive in redhat ?
