Message-ID: <C4Gs81.KHK@acsu.buffalo.edu> Date: 25 Mar 93 21:40:48 GMT References: <1993Mar24.064408.902@pyrian.com> <C4F7G5.EyD@acsu.buffalo.edu> <1993Mar25.203552.18378@nas.nasa.gov> Sender: nntp@acsu.buffalo.edu Organization: UB Lines: 8 Nntp-Posting-Host: lictor.acsu.buffalo.edu Thanks to all who have responded with "you forget the -f option". BUT, I didn't!! Here's what I tried: tar -tvf /dev/rst0 as well as various other device incantaions. I get the same message, except that whatever device I specify shows as having a "bad file descriptor"... Any other ideas?
