MAKEDEV Commands for Tape Drives
The MAKEDEV program supports these options for tape drives:
- tape
- Creates all the tps and xmt tape devices, then makes links to tape, nrtape, tapens, and nrtapens for the first tape drive found, if one exists. It first checks for xmt, then for SCSI in reverse target ID order.
- qictape
- Creates special files for 1/4-inch cartridge tape drives connected to an ISI QIC-O2 tape controller.
- magtape
- Creates special files for 1/2-inch tape drives connected to a Xylogics Model 772 tape controller. See xmt(7M) for details.
- links
- Creates both disk and tape special files.
- tps
- Creates special files for SCSI tape drives. See tps(7M) for details.
- tapelinks
- Makes only links to tape, nrtape, tapens, and nrtapens. Examine the target tapelinks in the script /dev/MAKEDEV for more information.
