    Yes, unix has always been opaque to users and administrators alike.
That's why unix admins get the big bucks.
    Linux has only slightly improved the situation. I have been looking
for information on how to mount a tape drive (DAT dds2, scsi internal).
Of the two books on linux (over a 1000 pages each) there is a total of
one and a half pages on tape drives with no mention of how to mount one,
or what to do if mounting fails.
    Grrrr....
