I'd like to mount my tape as file system to browse datas. Do someone can
help me ?
There was only ever one tape subsystem that *I* knew of that allowed you to mount it and view it as a file system, and that was the (now- ancient) DECtape drive. I know of no others that allow this.
The main reason is that, in order to do this you really need a high-
speed random access device. Tape drives are neither high speed (at least
not the speed you really need) nor are they random access (they are
sequential access).
Perhaps someone has written a tape driver that will end up calling me a liar on this point, but in general, tape is not the right hardware paradigm to start with to make a good file system.
