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.
