Which tar are you using to do the restore: native solaris /usr/bin/tar
(or /usr/sbin/static/tar), gnu tar, pax? How are you supplying the 30
GB file to the restoring tar, stdin as a file on the command line ...?
Do you have any compression in the picture? Also are you moving
between architectures or little to big endian machines?
