Hi managers,
We got a problem reading (Alpha1000,DU3.2d) a tar archive on a DAT Tape
that was written on a SGI machine.
tar tvf /dev/nrmt0h isn't working as expected. It comes up with
messages like:
% tar -tv
blocksize = 128
-rw-r-S--- 456/15 2788592 Jul 9 14:53:20 1996 filename.dxf
tar: Ready for volume 2
tar: Type "go" when ready to proceed (or "quit" to abort):
tar: /dev/rmt0h : This doesn't look like a tar archive
tar: /dev/rmt0h : Skipping to next file...
-rw-r-S--- 456/15 4743740 Jul 9 14:52:10 1996 band_3
etc.
BUT when we do a
dd if=/dev/nrmt0h bs=1024k | tar -tvf - ...everything seems to be ok.
What's wrong with tar ??
TIA
Roger
