What version of tar? 1.14 is known to be busted, 1.13-19 and 1.13-25 are ok, as is 1.15-1. To check, rewind the tape, then use something like: #>dd -f=/dev/nst0 |tar -t -(or whatever option tells tar to read the TOC) for a quick listing, or if you have room on /tmp, change the -t to xf or if gziped, 'xzf -'. The final - tells tar to take its input from stdin where the | symbol puts it. Man tar is your friend. -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
