Dear Sun Managers,

I was trying to tar a 8G compressed file to a DDS4
tape, I got the following error while using this
command.
# tar cvf /dev/rmt/0 bigfile
too large to archive.

However, it went thru when I used "tar cvfE /dev/rmt/0
bigfile" to tar into the DDS4 tape. Right now, when I
try to extract it, it is giving me "extract write
error".

Does anyone out there encounter such a similar problem
before and how to overcome it. Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Thomas
