That's what the 'mt' command is for and that's why opensuse (as of

Let's not forget, "tar" stands for tape archive.
Right. And that's why, as I said, the command for manipulating tapes is packaged with CPIO and not TAR.
mt_st is a separate package. Anyway, cpio is also an archiver, to tape or otherwise. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
