Hi there, I have been using tar archiver for more than 20 years. A year ago I decided to list the contents of a magnetic tape made in 2002. At that time I used tar program provided by Debian. The contents came out with no problem at all. I repeated the process a few time as per the following: tar -xvvf /dev/nst0 and everything worked just fine. Today I try to list the contents again and I am getting the following error:
root@machine:~# tar -xvvf /dev/nst0 tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors I have changed the magnetics tapes and also changed the unit unsuccessfully. I have also tried to compile old versions of tar with no luck. What is wrong ? Thanks a lot in advance, Luiz
