As far as I know, the tape drive cannot be mounted auto like a hard drive is. It must be mounted from the command line (or a icon on the desktop??) like the floppy drive is. If I am wrong on this, I am sure somebody on the list will correct me. Nevada -- Take Control of your Life Cut up your Credit Cards in Little Bitty Pieces

Or more precise: A disk is a DASD (Direct Access Storage Device) while a tape is a SASD (Sequential ...) A sequential device can not be mounted. If you want to access it, you have to use streaming input/ouput (e.g. tar, cpio ) pointing to /dev/st0. -- Koos Pol ---------------------------------------------------------------------- S.C.
