Help With Reading Partitioned Tapes

I have a bunch of 4 mm DDS tapes that have two partitions. I read them on my HP-UX 10.20 box by referencing the device files /dev/rmt/0m (partition 0) and /dev/rmt/0mp (partition 1). Unfortunately, my HP-UX box was lightning struck last week so now I'm trying to read these tapes using Unix Services for Windows or Debian Linux. I can access partition 0 with no problem but I can't get to partition1. Does anyone have any idea how to make a device file that will read this second partition in some other flavor of Unix?

Thanks,
Darren

Look at your man pages for the mt command. There may be a setpartition option for the command.

Don't post the same topic in multiple forums! Didn't you read the rules? :mad:
