This morning I have revert libarchive (src/lib/libarchive) and tar
(src/usr.bin/tar) back to RELENG_6_1 and surprisingly (or maybe not)
it works fine now.
After that I try to read/list the tar from tape with tar -t:
$ sudo tar -tf /dev/sa0
archive.dmp
tar: Unrecognized archive format: Inappropriate file type or format
But when I extract the archive from tape, it works perfectly:
$ sudo tar -xvf /dev/sa0
x archive.dmp
What SCSI controller are you using? This could
conceivably be an issue with a particular SCSI
controller.
A few lines from 'dmesg' could help here.
If I must, I suppose I could make 'tar' never
try to seek if it's talking directly to a device.
That would penalize devices that can seek, so I'd
rather find an alternate solution.

P.S. In the meantime, of course, tar from 6.1 and
gtar should both work in this situation.
