From: Aki.Sasaki@exchangebrk.BARRA.com (Aki Sasaki/mail+schedule) Subject: Test, question 21 Feb 1997 17:14:45 -0800 Approved: cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: Original-To: "'gnu'" X-Mailer: Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector Version 4.0.994.63 Encoding: 19 TEXT Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32@cygnus.com I just downloaded and installed the full version of cygwin32... basically, i wanted to use it to tar an entire directory (the d:\ drive) to tape0. is there something i'm doing wrong, or is this impossible? otherwise the bash shell seems to be working... i can access my a:\ drive, although the cdrom and cdr seem to be defunct (that's ok, i only need the tape drive). but i can't seem to open or write to /dev/st0. just in case it matters...it's an exabyte scsi 8mm drive, adaptec controller. but scsi doesn't seem to matter, since the d:\ drive is also scsi, same controller. i can also get to the tape drive through the NT backup utility... any ideas? thanks in advance. aki aki.sasaki@barra.com - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
