- Greetings, AIX Experts!
-
- I'm trying to get a directory from a tape that is labelled as being
- "CPIO format" via the following command lines: (label yields no
- clues as to density)
-
- cpio -i -vt < /dev/rmt0.2 # rewind, retension, high density
- cpio -i -vt < /dev/rmt0.6 # rewind, retension, low density
-
- Both commands generate the message:
-
- cpio: 0511-032 Cannot copy from the diskette.
-
- I am working on an RS/6000 running AIX 3.1 that has no manuals, no
- man pages and an empty InfoExplorer database. So I'm relying upon a
- combination of AT&T System V manuals and the O'Reilly UNIX series that
- details AIX differences. :-)
-
- Any help?
-
- Thanks in advance.
