Yes, I have had that problem when trying to do disk duplication as
outlined in the FAQ, gtar does the trick, but I have just used the dump

Is it a difficult task to fix our tar?
Should the tar method be removed from the disk duplication instructions
in the FAQ? Perhaps just a note warning about the problem there?
