It works great but I've been unable to eject a DAT from the drive without rewinding it. I've tried the following commands without success : mt -f /dev/nst0 rewoffl mt -f /dev/nst0 offline Pushing the "eject" button on the front of my external DAT drive does rewind the tape before ejecting it. Is there a specific command that I can use to avoid the rewinding of the tape before ejecting it ? Thanks
