I guess this is a reason not to snip out bits from the thread history! I've determined that when I try to retrieve files from the 2nd tape in my set it won't work. Tar crashes out with the helpful error "due to previous errors" -- no errors show before this apart from tar skipping to the next tape. Retrieves from the first tape work fine.
Paul suggested I try to retrieve a file from the *very* beginning of the 2nd tape, I'm trying to find out how to do that. Cheers, Mark On Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 08:31:57AM -0700, Dustin J.
