Re: have problem with tar -xvf
There are certain things you need to check it.
First one is to check the drive. It might have some issue. Try to clean the drive or replace it if possible.
Second one is, media could be defective. Check with new media.
Third one is I/O bottleneck.

Re: have problem with tar -xvf
We can do some low level troubleshooting at first to check if there is no hardware issue:
* Check the media, OLD media takes much more time. So you can try taking backup on a new media to ensure this.
* Can try cleaning the tape drive through cleaning tapes.
* If this delay in backup is repeating again and again, try using different tape drive.
Thats all from my side.
Regds,
R.K.

Re: have problem with tar -xvf
might be at that time some other IO processes had been having on the disk also that we can suspect to have caused that muchof delay .. assuming that the disk is OK.
can you please give whole of the tar command that you might be using.
regards
sujit

Re: have problem with tar -xvf
Could you check tar patch level?. If it is old, install the latest tar patch.
# swlist -l patch |grep -i tar

Re: have problem with tar -xvf
The patch which you are having is quit old released on 2003. The latest tar cumulative patch is PHCO_36587.
Install this one along with dependencies and see the performance. Hopefully that may solve the issue.

Not the method I'd use. How many large
temporary files do you want? (You don't
_need_ any.)
( cd /src/path ; tar cf - stuff | gzip ) | \
remsh server2 ' ( cd /dst/path ; gunzip | tar xf - ) '
Variations:
If "/dst/path" doesn't exist, add
"mkdir -p /dst/path ; " before the "cd".
Substitute "ssh" for "remsh"
Add a "v" to one of the "tar" commands".
(With "v" on both "tar" commands, the noise
can be more confusing than helpful.)
> Who can explain it to me ?
Probably no one. Not enough info.

Re: have problem with tar -xvf
...
( cd /src/path ; tar cf - stuff | gzip ) | \
remsh server2 ' ( cd /dst/path ; gunzip | tar xf - ) '
...
This is ok but if you have a problem when "cd somewhere" you will untar you files in the wrong directory or send files from a wrong directory or both (dangerous).
so better use && to test the return code
( cd /src/path && tar cf - stuff | gzip ) | \
remsh server2 ' ( cd /dst/path && gunzip | tar xf - ) '
