  • How to rewind a tape drive in Ubuntu

     

    This again uses the mt command, and is nice and easy:

     

    sudo mt -f [path/to/tape/drive] rewind

     

    A common example would be:

     

    sudo mt -f /dev/st0 rewind

     

    Easy done! In the above example it’s st (zero) not st (letter o) – in case it’s not clear from the font.
