Tar: tape error (5)

Hi there!
I am getting following error message while appending the contents with tar command
Tar: tape error (5)

What is the cause and resolutiion for the mentioned problem.
Can I re-install device file again by insf -e?
It would not be worth again and again re-installing file.There must be some everlasting solution.

Immediate response would be appreciated.

Regards,
Mehul
