To whom it may concern,
I use gnu-tar to write/read data to local/remote tape
drive without any problem:
% tar cf /dev/rmt/0 test_dir
% tar cf remote_machine:/dev/rmt/0 test_dir
% tar xf /dev/rmt/0
% tar xf remote_machine:/dev/rmt/0
I have no problem (or no error message) when write to
a tape in compress mode.
% tar czf /dev/rmt/0 test-dir
% tar czf remote_machine:/dev/rmt/0 test_dir
However I get the following error messages when I try
to extract in compress mode at a local machine:
zip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage
ignored
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
when using command:
% tar xzf /dev/rmt/0
notes: In a few tests, I could get all data from
tape.
On a remote machine the tar proccess hangs forever
when
using
% tar xzf remote_machine:/dev/rmt/0
notes: data losts when I kill the proccess
Notes: two machines: a linux with Redhat 7.0 and a Sun
workstation with Solaris 2.6 with 8mm tape drive.
