Difference between /dev/rStp0 and /dev/nStp0?

antzzz · Sep 10, 2003

What's the difference between /dev/rStp0 and /dev/nStp0? I have /dev/rStp0 now but how do I create /dev/nStp0?

Thanks.

When you create a SCSI tape drive with mkdev tape you should normally have 3 entries in /dev:

Code:

/dev/rStp0

normal device

Code:

/dev/nrStp0

no rewind on close device

Code:

/dev/xStp0

control device for the tape command
For more details, do a

Code:

 man HW tape
