Hello fellow gurus,
 
I have a tape I believe was tarred on an HPUX 9.05 system. I would like to
read this tape on my Solaris 8 system. Performing a tar tv gives me the
following:
 
# tar -tv
tar: directory checksum error

performing a tar xv gives me the same result. Not sure if I can use dd to
extract the data, but when I do the following, I get the error given too.
 
# dd if=/dev/rmt/0m conv=swab | tar -xvf -
read: Not enough space
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
tar: blocksize = 0

Help please!!!
 
Thanks in advance
Jeff Wimmer.
