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 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
