: Thanx to all who responded, to many to mention individually. Most pointed
: me to the st man pages.
: As james Benson put it:
: Basically, in the /dev/rmt/Xlbn example:
:
: X identifies the drive number (0-4)
: l is optional and can be either:
: -l for low density
: -m for medium density
: -h for high density
: -u for ultra density
: -o for compressed
: b identifies it as Sun OS 4.x (Berkeley) compatible
: n is also optional and can be either:
: -n for no rewind
: -left blank for rewind
:
: This information should be in the System Administration Guide in a section
: titled "Managing Tape Drives". If you don't have a hardcopy, try
: http://docs.sun.com.

:
: thanx to all for your time
