Specifying Different Densities for a Tape Drive
To transport a tape to a system whose tape drive supports only a certain density, specify a device name that writes at the desired density. The table below describes how to specify different densities for a tape drive.
Table 47-4 Specifying Different Densities for a Tape Drive|
To Specify The ... |
Use ... |
|---|---|
|
First drive, low density, rewinding |
/dev/rmt/0l |
|
First drive, low density, nonrewinding |
/dev/rmt/0ln |
|
Second drive, medium density, rewinding |
/dev/rmt/1m |
|
Second drive, nonrewinding, medium density |
/dev/rmt/1mn |
The unit and density characters are shown in Figure 47-1.
