I followed the directions in the RELNOTES.FreeBSD. It just sat there. However doing a tar tf /dev/rst0 works from the shell prompt. 3) The SCSI tape backup is slow compared to Linux. On Linux, it just streams. I did a tar -x -b 128 -f /dev/rst0. The tape drive just starts and stops. -- jgomezr@neptune.calstatela.edu
