Tape backup using tar

[Stuart Bailey]

> By experiment, if I 'modprobe st' on s freshly booted system
> with no scsi tape plugged in, I dont get /dev/st0 created,

> What does 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' show?
# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00
  Vendor: HP       Model: C7438A           Rev: V312
  Type:   Sequential-Access                ANSI SCSI revision: 03

I think yhis looks OK.

Many thanks,

Stuart.
