Hi,

I'm = trying to use=20 cygwin1 with tape/tar support with a SCSI Quantum DLT tape drive running = under=20 NT 4.0.

tar = tvf=20 /dev/rmt0

will = list=20 the contents of the tape (a tar archive), but when I try to extract = or list=20 specific file names, as in

tar = xvf /dev/rmt0=20 file1.bz2

tar = tvf /dev/rmt0=20 file1.bz2

for = files that are=20 on the tape, the tape just reads to eot and then = rewinds.

output = of mount=20 is:

Device      &nbs= p;   =20 Directory          =20 Type       =20 Flags
tape0          = ; =20 tape           &nb= sp;   =20 native     =20 text!=3Dbinary
Tape0        &n= bsp;  =20 /tape0           &= nbsp; =20 native     =20 text!=3Dbinary
tape0        &n= bsp;  =20 /mnt/tape          =20 native      text!=3Dbinary
\\.\tape0     &nbs= p; =20 /dev/rmt0          =20 native     =20 text=3Dbinary
d:         =      =20 /d            = ;     =20 native     =20 text!=3Dbinary
c:         = ;     =20 /c            = ;     =20 native     =20 text!=3Dbinary
C:         = ;     =20 /            =       =20 native      text!=3Dbinary

Any = ideas as to what=20 I can do to get the files off this tape?

Thanks.

Adam
