    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.
