Hello all,

I am trying to do opposite but it fails with error:

#dd if=ipublic1-archive-2005Apr05-1821.flar of=/dev/rmt/0
# flar info /dev/rmt/0
ERROR: Could not read cookie from /dev/rmt/0. Are you using a large
enough block size?

I was trying different block size but it failed as well:
#dd if=ipublic1-archive-2005Apr05-1821.flar of=/dev/rmt/0 obs=1048576
