The SDLT tape address is probably /dev/st0
The DDS4 tape device was also probably /dev/st0. It is common practice to use a symbolic link from /dev/tape to the real tape device. You could re-establish the symbolic link with this command:
thx reply , the device path seems is not /dev/st0 , I try to use the command "eject" , I use tar command to compress to the tape "tar -zcvf /dev/st0 /tmp/*" , it can't tar the files, so I think the path is incorrect , could anyone help me ?
