Re: mag tape nameing I think a good start towards this monumental problem would be to create a second level directory a la SYSV, like /dev/mt/1600r0 # rewind unit 0 /dev/mt/6250n0 # no rewind unit 0 /dev/rmt/1600r1 # rewind, raw, unit 1 etc. But a rose by any other name... -Barry Shein, Boston University
