You need to recover some data from a magnetic tape and it is the second file on the medi
A.
The following command is being attempted:
mt -f /dev/nst0 _______
What is the mt operation that will position the tape on the first block of the second file? (Please
specify the operation with no other parameters)
Explanation:
From the man pages:
mt – control magnetic tape drive operation
asf The tape is positioned at the beginning of the count file. Positioning is done by first rewinding the
tape and then spacing forward over count filemarks.
What #!.. ?
What is the answer?
