Installing a copy of cigwin32 form latest directory does not
create
the special files (devices) under /dev directory that are
needed to make
tape backups.
i have also errors issueing mknod, wich does not work
properly
with the option -m. and without behaves wildly
the tar program, for example, tar -t, or tar -c begins to work
but halts
giving an error because of lack of permission to perform the
operations
requested
the mt command that i have downloaded from Corinna's site,
behaves
randomly...
a little chaos. I think that it may be caused for the
mknod failure.
Someone there that has a complete set of instructions about
installing
tape support in order to using it with tar will be very
useful.
nt 4 svpack 6, ide disks
intel mboard, ati-vga and yamaha olp on-board
colorado floppy tape, that works fine with linux and ftape
driver.
thanks.
