Hey Slug people. I've just doing an all nighter because tar keeps giving up restoring a MS windows 2K bkf file (MSBACKUP). I've realized that there are tape blocks of nulls 1/14th of the way through. Which is the best way to make tar tolerant of this. --- praying that the command line switches make it come through now - or IM F*C$!%!! Any suggestions? Hey why in hells's name can't tar be made to trust the tape device driver to manage tape files? Is there any patches that let tar completely ignore nulls?
