Im trying to change tape parameters through onmonitor -> archive -> Tape-parameters and in the Tape Device I have /dev/rmt/0n which seems to work (ontape works until it says it doesnt have more space). Im trying to change the Tape size parameter to the size of the tape (12 gig), but onmonitor gives me an error: Error opening the tape device, Error No. = 13. I dont know what could be wrong. ontape works, except for the tape limit, which is what Im trying to change. Thanks.... ;-) "And I'm happy, because you make me feel good, about me." - Melvin Udall ----------------------------------------------------------------- Mart'n Marqu's email: martin@math.unl.edu.ar Santa Fe - Argentina http://math.unl.edu.ar/~martin/ Administrador de sistemas en math.unl.edu.ar -----------------------------------------------------------------

Error 13 is an OS error, it means permission denied. Personnaly I'd just go into $ONCONFIG and hack the number in TAPESIZE xxxx where xxxx is a number of kbytes your tape is capable of writing out. mja In article <8rt5fn$7f1$1@news.xmission.com>, "Martin A.
