All,

I quick question for you all, I hope someone can shine a little light on
it.

I am trying to tar a large filesystem into a sperate file (command
below), now it get approx 60% of the way throught and then says

tar cvf /movedirectory/dump.tar /users/sys/dump

"Tar reached an unexpected end" or something on those lines

The file I am taring to is in a directory on it's own 18.2GB disk and
when the tar falls over there is still 46% free in the directory I am
tar to.

Any help please.

Thanks
