It didn't say which version of tar. Solaris tar doesn't accept the same flags as GNU tar (e.g. it doesn't come with builtin support for zip and bzip2, or at least it didn't last time I looked at it)

And it's great for backing up to your mag tape stands. ;-)
That's what the 'mt' command is for and that's why opensuse (as of 12.2) has it, and that's why its included with the CPIO package and not the TAR package.
I think 'mt_st' preferred over 'mt', but I can't remember why.
st stands for scsi tape, if your tape drive isn't scsi, you should probably be using mt
Ah, that's right, thanks. (are there really any non-SCSI tape drives out there?) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.2°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
