I have found what appears to be a new bug in tar-1.14, 1.15 and 1.15.1
I have not found documentation of this bug in 1.15.90 or 1.15.91, so I
assume has not been corrected.
If I issue the following command:
tar -c -v -b 512 -M -f /dev/st0 .
Under tar 1.13, it works fine.
Under 1.14, 1.15 or 1.15.1, it prompts me to change the volume after
writing only a small amount of data; the tape does not even move, so I
assume it's less than 256K.
If I omit the "-M" command, it writes just fine until it runs out of tape.
If I omit the "-b 512", it writes just fine, but is very inefficient
with this tape drive; plus the 256K block size is what I have selected
to use for our existing archive.
If I write it to a file, rather than a tape, it works fine.
Please advise.
Thanks!
Christopher Strong
