Ok, here a small setup. I create a random file with roughly size of 5MB: $ dd if=/dev/random of=archive.dmp bs=1024 count=5120 5120+0 records in 5120+0 records out 5242880 bytes transferred in 0.174116 secs (30111397 bytes/sec) Then a tar the file (with or without blocksize set) to tape: $ sudo tar -cf /dev/sa0 archive.dmp $ After that I try to read/list the tar from tape with tar -t: $ sudo mt -f /dev/sa0 rewind $ sudo tar -tf /dev/sa0 archive.dmp tar: Unrecognized archive format: Inappropriate file type or format $ I get strait away the "Unrecognized archive" message. But when I extract the archive from tape, it works perfectly: $ sudo tar -xvf /dev/sa0 x archive.dmp $ I have tested this with libarchive and tar from RELENG_6 and RELENG_6_2. No problems with libarchive and tar from RELENG_6_1. If you need more (debug) info, let me know Kind regards, Robin Gruyters Network and Security Engineer Yirdis B.V.
