I'm trying to port cpio to NT (so i can read some old sun backup
tapes)
The port took a little time based on source code supplied with my
linux distribution. I got a couple of warnings during the compile,
but the resultant exe appears to create and read valid cpio files.
However, i can't get it to work with my tape drive ( a SCSI SUN
QIC tape drive )
I've tried both cpio ... > /dev/st0 and cpio ... > \\.\tape0
The first instance tells me that /dev/st0 is not a file/directory
and the second one actually creates a file called .tape0 in the
root directory. However cpio ... > /dev/fd0/filename does work.
If have a win32 version of tar that works with \\.\tape0 so the
tape is working. (ie tar -cvf \\.\tape0)
The output from a mount command gives ...
Device Directory Type Flags
d: /extra native no-mixed,text!=binary
\\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native no-mixed,text!=binary
\\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native no-mixed,text!=binary
\\.\b: /dev/fd1 native no-mixed,text!=binary
\\.\a: /dev/fd0 native no-mixed,text!=binary
c: / native no-mixed,text!=binary
Any ideas? Does the problem lie with my port of cpio, the bash
shell or what? Should the ':' be after the \\.\tape0 in the mount
table?
help!
regards,
scott fagg

I've posted on this bug before. The latest cygwin path mapping doesn't
understand UNC names, converting "\\.\tape0" into "\\tape0".
