hi chris,
first, many thanks for cygwin. i could not survive
without it.
sorry to send you a mail directly.
am i doing something wrong or why does tar not
work on my dat-tape?
here's more info:
----------------------------------------
# mount
...
\\.\tape0 on /dev/st0 type system (binmode)
...
#
# mt -f /dev/tape rewind
#
# tar -tf /dev/tape
tar: /dev/tape: Cannot read: Permission denied
tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
#
# ls -l /dev/tape
lrwxrwxrwx 1 Manfred None 101 Dec 7 19:39 /dev/tape ->
/dev/st0
#
# ls -l /dev/st0
crw-rw-rw- 1 Everyone Everyone 18, 0 Dec 7 22:39 /dev/st0
#
# tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.19
...
#
# cygcheck.exe -s
...
Windows NT Ver 4.0 Build 1381 Service Pack 6
...
cygwin 1.3.6-4
...
#
----------------------------------------
so the 'permission denied' is the problem. i think, version 1.3.4 worked.
v1.3.5 had the same problem.
any idea?
thanks for any help
Manfred
