Re: p650 tar command not enough memory

I find that this message has nothing to do with memory. It is misleading.
This usually means the tape format is wrong (tape block size, not a tar
tape, etc).

>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Hi All,

I have a 650 with 3 lpars, and am trying to extract a tar file from a tape.
When I try to extract or even list the contents I get the following error
message:

tar: 0511-193 An error occurred while reading from the media.
There is not enough memory available now.

This lpar has 2GB of Ram and 3GB of Paging space. When I tried it the
first time I had 1GB of Ram. So I moved a GB from an other lpar but
received the same message.

I did look through the archives but did not find anything.

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance
John
