Can CygWin be changed to detect a *tape* read() call and not continue to fill the user-buffer after the first ReadFile call returns?
The Tape Block Length information is in MSDN, within the document Q161338 in the knowledge base.
It *may* also be the case that setting a SCSI tape (/dev/st0) to variable-block mode is required before each write operation under NT/2000 - which is slightly different to the way my RetHat Linux 8.0 works, which keeps the mode set even after a write call. Then again it could be my setup: Adaptec 1520B SCSI Adaptor w/ 4mm DDS-2 DAT Drive.
