C code

-
struct mtop op = { MTSETPART, COUNT };
result = ioctl(tapefd, MTIOCTOP, &op);
|
Description
|
Move the tape head at the partition with the number COUNT.
|
Notes
|
-
Only the
Iomega Ditto Max floppy tape drives has more than one
partition. Actually, it has two partitions. A very small one, about
130mb, and a large one that occupies all the remaining space.
-
Initially the
Iomega Ditto Max positions at partition 1
which is the large partition. The small one has the number `0 '.
|
Limitations
|
Only the Iomega Ditto Max has more than one partition, all other
floppy tape drives have a single partition.
|
Example
|
Position at the large partition. Remember that omitting the COUNT
value when using mt is equivalent to setting it to 1 .
-
mt -f /dev/nqft0 setpart
|
Example
|
Move to small partition
-
mt -f /dev/nqft0 setpart 0
