Using tar with a SDLT I set the blocksize at 1024
and use ASCII headers (-c)

I'm attempting to use tar to feed my filesystem(s) to a DLT tape
drive. I've done this with FreeBSD 3 through 5 and DAT (DDS-3 and
DDS-4) tapes for years. The command now appears to work for a while
and then dies with this message about 2.5 hours into the process:
archive_write_pax_header: 'x' header failed?! This can't happen.
Any idea what this means?
I'm using:
$ uname -a
FreeBSD atlas.cairodurham.org 6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #0: Wed
Jun 28 11:27:09 EDT 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/
src/sys/SMP i386
This is my first FreeBSD 6.x system, my first SMP kernel, and my
first DLT drive on a FreeBSD system. Using Google, I couldn't find
any answers that were useful. (Just a few dead threads from various
forums and mailing lists.)
Thanks in advance,
Jaime
