[osol-discuss] tar incompatibility with linux

[Justin Zygmont]

I have just noticed a problem with tapes written from solaris, linux can't 
read them unless I write them using a block size of 1. (-b1)
The problem with this, is that any backup to tape takes forever now, and 
is almost useless, yet solaris reads the linux written tapes no problem. 
This is using gnu tar on both systems too.
