Hello osf managers,
I am doing a tar restore command # tar xv
and the error is [offset 0] : no space left on device.
The tar backup archives # tar cv .
were run on two seperate unix machines both running unix 4.0
with same model tape devices.
I then ran the mt status command for both tapes and the only difference
is the mt_resid parameter. Is anyone able to tell me what this
parameter
does?
The output from the tape that did not work with the tar command is as
follows:
