Then I misunderstood your earlier message.

But I'm still a bit lost about your concern.  Are you worried that GNU
'tar' would copy classified data to the "unused" areas of the tape,
even when all the data that it copies to the "used" areas of the tape
is unclassified?  I don't think GNU tar would do that: it should copy
zeros to all the "unused" areas.  If I'm wrong, please let us know;
it'd be a bug.
