device entry for FW tape drive?
Hey all,
I'm trying to use rmt, dump, and mtio in order to backup data to a LaCie 1394 tape drive. I am using Mac OS X 10.3.9 Server, and wanted to see how/if these programs behaved on OS X. I'm stuck at the get-go though, I can't find the /dev entry for the device. According the the manufacturer, no drivers are necessary for Mac OS X and this Tape Drive.
I looked in the /dev folder and there is nothing in /dev/tape, /dev/rmt, or /dev/sa*, etc. I looked in the system profiler and the device is recognized and listed under the firewire bus, complete with serial #. But there doesn't seem to be a way of reverencing it's /dev entry from there.
Anybody done this before and can offer some assistance?
P.S. I know I can use retrospec and BRU, I am just trying to experiment with these commands.
