The problem is when mouting the NT tape path. It doesn't work, but I don't know if it's due to a syntax problem with mount, or an invalid NT path. Can someone confirm to me that the drive path is something like \Device\ScsiPort3.Raw ? If not, what *is* an NT drive path ? If yes, then I have a problem with the syntax, as if I try something like: mount \Device\ScsiPort3.Raw /dev/rmt I receive an error (/dev/rmt is invalid, or something like that), an if I put quotes (") arount \Device... , then it seems mount doesn't complain even if the path is a pure fantasy (but, of course, mt fails afterwards (and fails even when the path is supposedly correct)). I've also tried to double the baclslashes, but it the same as using the quotes (the shell doesn't interfere, but the command doesn't work either). So if someone has any idea, or better, if one can send me (or post) the sequence of commands to use (mount, mt, tar.... why not mknod ?), I'd appreciate it greatly. Thanks a lot.
