Subject: problem with tar 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I'm having problems writing files to tape with the cygwin tar command on
Windows 2000.  I have the tape device [Exabyte EXB SCSI] mounted on
/dev/rmt/n0.  I can create an archive and write whatever files I want to
tape using -cf.  But when I use "tar -rvf  /dev/rmt/n0  [FILE]..." I get
back

FILE
tar: /dev/rmt/n0: Wrote only 0 of 10240 bytes
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

-A and -u produce the same result, as does mounting the device on
/dev/rmt/0.  I would greatly appreciate anyone's recommending how to
solve this problem.

Stephen Hansen
