It's going to be an hour more before it gets to the end of the tape,
so that I can see if upgrading tar fixes the problem of the lost file
between the two tapes. But, I wonder if it is going to end like
before, just finishing at the end of the first tape, without prompting
for the 2nd tape, because it thinks it is already on the 2nd tape.
The new tar on Linux made the situation worse. As before, when it
finishes reading the first tape, it doesn't prompt for the second tape,
it just ends. So, I load the second tape, and run tar, and it says:
# ~sitongia/bin/tar -xv -M -b 128 -f /dev/nst0
20050421/20050421.121910.fts
/home/sitongia/bin/tar: 20050421/20050421.121910.fts: Cannot extract --
file is continued from another volume
/home/sitongia/bin/tar: Skipping to next header
/home/sitongia/bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Previously, it would give the error about the continued file, and then
continue reading the tape. With tar 1.19, I cannot read the second tape.
