Martin, I've tried several different minor numbers, 0x0130XX, where XX has been different combinations of integers. Sometimes the tape is read (using cpio) and sometimes not. However, the partition read is always partition 0 instead of partition 1. I know this because I have a list of files on...

Does anyone know how to create the correct device file that will allow me to read partitioned 4 mm DDS tapes? I'm using HP-UX 10.2 and I'm trying to create the device file /dev/rmt/0mp. I found something on the internet that suggested I try mknod 0mp c 205 0x013002 but I can't get that to work...

Sorry, Ken! The tape drive I'm using is an old HP C1520B 4mm SCSI DDS drive.

This is good info! I guess the other problem I have is making the correct device file to get to partition 1 of the tape. In HP-UX I used something like: mknod /dev/rmt/0mp c 54 0x201A12 to make the device file. I've tried that using UNIX Services for Windows (Interix?) to no avail. I can get...

Partitioning a tape is like partitioning a hard drive. By having two partitions, I essentially have two volumes to write data to. It's a way to get two backups per tape, not have a lot of empty space, and save some money. Now if someone could just tell me how to access the second partition....

Does anyone know how to partition 4mm DDS tapes in any flavor of UNIX besides HP-UX? My HP-UX box died and I have bunch of backup tapes with two partitions on them and I can't figure out how to read the second partition using other kinds of UNIX. Thanks in advance, Darren

I have a bunch of 4 mm DDS tapes that have two partitions on them. The device files I reference when reading them on an HP-UX 10.20 system are /dev/rmt/0m (partition 0) and /dev/rmt/0mp (partition 1). Unfortunately, my HP-UX box got struck by lightning two weeks ago so I'm trying to use Unix...
