Re: p650 tar command not enough memory

Received this error message before and it has to do with an incorrect
block size used with the tar command, not with physical memory...

Subject: p650 tar command not enough memory

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
