Do I have to > to something to declare it ? Or did the name change ? _When_ do you get that message? When trying to read? It's a NT problem. The default block size is set to 512 bytes by the OS which is not the typical blocksize of other OSes. set the blocksize to the known value of your tapes (mt setblk 5120 or whatever) or set it to variable blocksize (mt selblk 0). Then try again. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Developer mailto:cygwin@cygwin.com Red Hat, Inc. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
