read errno (or perror("can't read()");)
Thanks, Marc.
Yes,I understand that errno will give me the reason read() failed.
My question is if I can continue reading the tape after read() has failed.
If I use something like 'tar' format, with 512 byte logical block and, say,
8K physical block, will I lose just some number of physical blocks,
or will my data become completely unaligned? How will the fact that the
tape drive compresses the data affect further reading?
