Our 4.3 tapes just arrived and I have been trying to make working copies on our one-tape-drive system using a disk as an intermediate. I have been getting a directory checksum error from 4.2 tar on the first file of the second tape (/sys). The other two files (/usr/src and /usr/lib/vfont) tar just fine. The error seems to come late in the file - perhaps at the last block, as it looks like most of /sys has been extracted. Has anyone else encountered this problem, or is it likely that my tape 2 is defective? Brad Yearwood Kontron Electronics {voder, pyramid}!kontron!brad Mountain View, California (415) 965-7020
