Hi,

I have a tape device problem. I'm running on Win2K pro SP1 + all M$
recommended patches and I've just installed the latest Cygwin.

I mounted the DAT drive with

mount -s -f -b //./tape0 /dev/nst0

and it seems to be working, I can write to a DAT and read the data back.

BUT, if I put in a tape I wrote on Linux I get the following:

$ cat /dev/nst0
cat: /dev/nst0: Permission denied

Why is this, and how can I read the DAT tape.

Thanks in advance.
