Non-rewind tape device
Can anyone tell me how to set up a "non rewind" driver for a DDS3 drive ? I have /dev/st0 as my tape drive, but youc an only TAR one file to that - there is a way of setting up a /dev/st0n device driver so that after taring a file to tape, it positions the tape just past that file and makes the tape appendable.

Use /dev/nst0
