Hi,
thanks to all responses, but:
the solution to my problem is:
Install the Patch Kit # 6:

> tar: /dev/nrmt0h : Skipping to next file...

Subject: Error with tar command
Hi managers,
i have a problem with tar command.
i have a shell script to backup. The command
that i use to is:
tar -cvsp -f /dev/nrmt0h /dir1/dir2
under dir2 there is a directory structur like this:
dir3_1
dir4_1
dir4_2
:
:
dir4_n
dir3_2
dir5_1
dir5_2
:
:
dir5_n
dir3_3
:
:
:
dir3_n
then, when i want restore the information on any directory i use this
command:
# mt rewind
tar -xvsp -f /dev/nrmt0h /dir1/dir2/dir3_3
then i have this error:
blocksize = 20 tar: /dev/nrmt0h : This doesn't look like a tar archive
tar: /dev/nrmt0h : Skipping to next file...
tar: Memory allocation failed for extended data while reading : Not enough space
then, i use this command:
tar -xvsp -f /dev/nrmt0h /dir1/dir2/dir3_3/dir4_2
the same error,
too i use this command:
tar -svsp -f /dev/nrmt0h /dir1/dir2
the same error again.
Thanks in advanced.
