With HP's "tar", or what?
So why ask in a Linux forum, instead of an
HP-UX forum?

Between what and what?

Is Google not available where you are?

Re: TAR between two different HP systems
If permissions are no the issue, then check the space on the system it may check for available space.
If this works let me know.

Re: TAR between two different HP systems
This is unrelated to "directory checksum error".
>Other than the version, it should only be a minor difference.
Right, they should be compatible.
>then check the space on the system it may check for available space.
Again, unrelated to Jorge's error.

Re: TAR between two different HP systems
2) Generally it indicates that the version of "tar" being used can't read the file. the tape could be corrupt, not contain tar data, contain data written by GNU tar w/ incompatible options settings or many other things, including drive compatibility issues

Re: TAR between two different HP systems
If you're not fooling with old tapes, then ignore comments below...
In the case of old tapes:
At times, you can try cleaning the tape heads and retrying the re-reading the tape. As a last ditch effort to save the contents from an old tape... you can stick it in an oven for about 30 minutes with the oven set as low as it can go. Now, I've not tried this on dds tapes, but many thousands of moons ago, it worked well enough for 9 track tapes, giving you ONE LAST read of a tape, some of the time. The idea was to take the moisture out of the tape that it has accumulated over the years. If your ovens' lowest temp makes tape cases "warp", then after bringing up the oven to lowest heat, turn it off, wait 10 minutes, and try with another tape. Of course, this works best when trying to save a batch of tapes (like I was), and you *know* you're not going to get them all, but you're looking to save all you can. Make sure that in your "last read of all time", you're actually storing the contents of the whole tape somewhere so that it can be recreated on new media, if desired. Also, be prepared to clean and reclean that tape head often, before, during and especially after each process. A "cleaning tape" alone probably won't cut it, you'll probably have to clean with tape head cleaning solution and cleaning swabs, if you don't have this handy, I've sucessfully used "pure" ethyl alcohol (u can get this from pharmacist at nearby drug store).

Re: TAR between two different HP systems
If pax reports: This doesn't look like a tar archive, then look at the first record on the tape:
# mt -f /dev/rmt/whatever rewind
# dd if=/dev/rmt/whatever count=1 | xd -xc
If you see hex codes: 8000 4953 4c31 3020 (which has the text: ISL10, then the tape is an Ignite backup tape. If instead you see: ANSI standard label ... then the tape is in fbackup format.
