Have you tried -i (--ignore-zeros) option?
No, I haven't. Right now, I'm trying a simpler test. Instead of
using multiple tar commands in writing to the tapes, I've used one
command, with a lot of data, to span the multi-tape archive. Now I'm
going to read it on Linux to see if it handles the prompt for the 2nd
tape better.
Well, my simpler test (one tar command that will span multiple tapes)
failed worse than before (that is, tar 1.19 seems to do worse than
1.15). I can see from the write that the file being written (or last
written?) at the tape changes was g/20050421/20050421.121910.fts, and
when the read gets to this:
g/20050421/20050421.121910.fts
