Hi all, My sincere apologies that this is really a query about the use of tar, rather than a bug report.
But I shall really appreciate if anyone can help. A colleague has got some LTO4 tapes, which are believed to be written using a tar command with a switch of -b 1024. However, we tried tar -b 1024 -tvf /dev/nst0 we are getting io errors. We put in a blank LTO4 tape, and with that, a simple tar -cvf /dev/nst0 followed by tar -xvf /dev/nst0 works. So we cannot make out why we cannot read the LTO4 tapes. Much appreciated if anyone can share some idea how to resolve this.
