Hi All,

I have data in 4mm tape.

format : tar
compression : hardware

usually I will use the following command to extract the tar file


tar -xvf /dev/rmt/0m

It works if there is no compression.
But the same command gives "directory checksum error" for hardware compression tar file.

How do I extract this tape? (what is the correct syntax?)


Environment:
=============
Sun OS 5.7
and
also I have HP 10.7


Thanks,
Adi.
