Subject: Tape Drive Question (2.6.14.4)
Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2005 10:10:27 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0512241009230.2904@p34> (raw)
$ ls -l /dev/st0*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tape 9, 0 2004-09-18 07:51 /dev/st0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tape 9, 96 2004-09-18 07:51 /dev/st0a
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tape 9, 32 2004-09-18 07:51 /dev/st0l
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tape 9, 64 2004-09-18 07:51 /dev/st0m
What differentiates st0 from a,l,m?
What does writing or reading to a tape using a,l,m signify?
I cannot seem to find any documentation clearly stating this.
Justin.
