Hi all. I am a newbie to Linux and Fedora....I am trying to get a tape drive (travan) to work on fedora Core 5. When I type the command "dmesg" I see that the drive is listed there and hdc as the device name...but it does not show up under drives's...do I need to mount this? and how would I do that? Thanks for the help!
Are you trying to use it as a destination for tar? I wasn't aware that one usually mounted such devices. What kind of file system do you intend to put on the tape? One mounts file systems, not devices. Mike -- p="p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} This message made from 100% recycled bits. You have found the bank of Larn. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
