tar error block size changed

Enrico Venturi — Thu, 26 May 2005 04:46:29 GMT

Hello colleagues,
I got this error on HP UX 11i.
For sure my scripts do something wrong, maybe they perform different actions on the same archive in the same time, but how can I understand which is the error cause?

regards
Enrico

Did you get this right away or after some files were restored?

Hi,

How are you copying the files??

Is the file size same on both the target and the source??

The problem derives from an incomplete remote copy of the archive.
