One of my media servers @ a remote office uses an 8 mm tape drive

running solaris 9 should be /dev/rmt/0

for some reason when I run  mt -f /dev/rmt/0n .. rew everything works
if I use /dev/rmt/0cbn .. it tells me tape offline.

I guess that means that the device does not support compression.

problem is netbackup just want to use 0cbn and wont let me use 0n or
anything else.

what can I do to get this to work ?
