I recieve the error "Permission denied". It is possible to take a blank tape and write/read to it using tar och dd but if I try to use a tape that is written on a Solaris workstation. I use the same tape device on both workstations (EXB8500 with hardware compression). The tape is written to /dev/rmt/0mbn (medium capacity) on the Solaris workstation. Maybe I need to configure cygwin to use medium capacity, but how do I do that? Regards, Johannes -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
