On my Digital UNIX Alphastation255, I would like to copy (clone) a
tarfile from an 8mm tape directly to a tarfile on a 20GB DLT, without
going though the filesystem but cannot tar -tvf the DLT after dd xfer is
done. dd gives me what looks like a correct In+Out message.

have tried:

        dd if=/dev/rmt1h of=/dev/rmt0h
        dd if=/dev/rmt1h ibs=20 of=/dev/rmt0h obs=20
        dd if=/dev/rmt1h of=/dev/rmt0h bs=20b

Any suggestions on other ways to try?, maybe I have some sort of
byte-swapping going on?

FYI -The 8mm tarfile was made on Solaris, and I can list it via tar
-tvf.

Thanks, John (stumped) Haro.

pls. email back or call me, I don't read news that often.
