Sun Unix vs Linux dd command

[Steve Gere]

dd if=/dev/rmt/0n of=/burn1/mike/YYMMDD.prep bs=512
dd if=/dev/rmt/0n of=/burn1/mike/YYMMDD.out bs=512

 

These are the Sun commands. In Linux I used 

dd if=/dev/st0 of=/DLT/USapps/YYMMDD.prep bs=512

dd if=/dev/st0 of=/DLT/USapps/YYMMDD.out bs=512

 

I got "3+0 records in

        3+0 records out"

 

but not the 2 files on the DLT.

I got recognition of the DLT, a header data read, and this data was extracted:

 

OL1P00007                                                                     1= SUN
Mdl = DLT7000
Address = 0
Modename = No name
Modesel = 00 00 10 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00
Blocksize = 512
Drive type = streamer

 

Section = Changer
n = Changer

It was suggested that in Linux I look for a non-rewind device. Can you point me to a source for assistance in properly configuring this tape data extraction? I realize you are a debugging professional and not an instructor, per se, and I thank you in advance for any assistance you can give me. Steve Gere
