You do not specify what you used to write to tape as far as software. My
guess is you used ufsdump and you are trying to restore using
restore. Sun. in modifying dump/restore to create ufsdump/ufsrestore made
one major change that causes cross-platform grief - they changed the
default to 1024 byte blocks rather than 512 byte blocks. If you are
using restore, try something like
restore -ivfg /dev/st0 1024
