Gurus,
I have a tape written with tar. The block size is unknown. I have tried
all possible drive devices(m,u,l,h,lc,....) and also -b option with
possible bs (80,512,1024) but every time it gives tar block size error.

I tried tcopy it gives file 1: record nnnn ,.... But did not specify a
block size.

Any other magic solution to read this weird tar tape ?

IWS

Thanks

Levi
