Ho trovato questo semplice articolo che riassume in poche brevi istruzioni il minimo per governare una unità nastro.
Il mondo le ritiene sorpassate, a me sembrano però ancora insostituibili. Una unità nastro da 400GB è sempre una bella soluzione ai problemi dei backup di secondo livello.
Visto che i siti oggi ci sono, domani no, riporto alcune delle note più importanti senza tante spiegazioni:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Device name: Will have “s” in name because it’s scsi
/dev/nstx
= non-rewindable scsi tape
/dev/stx
= rewindable
x = number We want /dev/st0, the first rewindable scsi tape device.
I found this simple article that summarizes in a few brief instructions the minimum to govern a tape drive.
The world believes it to be outdated, to me they seem however still irreplaceable. A 400GB tape drive is always a good solution to the problems of second-level backup.
Since there are now sites, tomorrow no, report some of the most important notes without many explanations:
cat/proc/scsi/scsi
Device name: Will have “s” in the name because it’s scsi
/dev/nstx
= non-rewindable tape scsi
/dev/stx
= rewindable
x = number We want/dev/st0, the first scsi rewindable tape device.
To check drive status:
Mt-f/dev/st0 status
Mt-f/dev/st0 rewind
Mt-f/dev/st0 erase
Mt-f/dev/st0 rewind
Mt-f/dev/st0 lock #prevent hitting eject before it finished
tar-cvzf/dev/st0/path/to/stuff/to/back/up/
Mt-f/dev/st0 unlock
Mt-f/dev/st0 eject
