% touch /reconfigure

% sync;halt

/dev/rmt/Xcb if you require a compression rewind device file, where X is the relevant

Once the device files have been created, you should confirm that your new tape drive is

working properly. Chapter 7, “Verifying the Installation” provides instructions on backing up

and restoring a sample file to test your installation.
