opening tape devices with no tape in the drive

opening tape devices with no tape in the drive

Post by Charles Anders » Wed, 05 Oct 1994 03:52:31



Is there any way to open a tape device without a tape in the drive?  I've
tried just about every option there is on open(), nothing seems to work.
I need to do this so that I can load a tape with a tape changer that is
LUN 1 on the tape device.

thanks,
-Charlie
