I have some files stored in HDF/netcdf format on an 8mm tape. Since the files are extremely large (the one I need to read is over a gigabyte) I tried to open the tape drive using ncopen. ncopen gives me an error message: ncopen: filename "/dev/mt/tps0d4nrnsv": Device busy I am on an SGI running IRIS 5.3. Has anybody tried to open a tape device using netcdf calls?? I'd really appreciate any help I could get.
