Hi !
Never crossed this problem but it seems that the
/dev/rct0 device has been linked to the last tape
you added to the system. Please, try removing the
second tape and reconfigure the first one; once
you get it to work correctly, take note of the
major/minor number of the /dev/rct0 and create
a new node (e.g., /dev/tape1) with the same
numbers. Then add the second tape and take
note of the newly created /dev/rct0; perhaps,
by adding the second device, this node has been
changed to reflect the new configuration.
If you're lucky, you'll be able to access the first
tape bu using the previously created /dev/tape1
node while still able to access the second one by
using /dev/rct0.
See also tape(HW), cartridge(HW), floppytape(HW), irwin(HW)
and scsitape(HW).
Hope this helps !
Best,
Roberto
