I have a DLT tape , labeled tar cvfb /dev/rmt/0 32.
when I try to get a table of contents, - tar tvf /dev/rmt/0
or tar tvf /dev/rmt/1, i get tar: tape read error. When I do a tar xvf /dev/rmt/0, I get a tar: /dev/rmt/0: I/O error.
I am assurred by the yoozer that gave me the tape that there is about 20gb of data on it, and one of my predecessors ( high turnover here ) was able to extract the data before. I do seem to be getting something when I use a dd command, but how can I pump it thru the tar command? any suggestions?
