RE: TAR and Linux info

It might be a tape problem, but I think it is unusual for a tape to be this hosed without errors being generated when the backup was created. If it is known that a backup was created without errors on this tape, and the tape has not been mishandled since then, then my first question would be: At what density was the tape created, and are you reading from the tape at that density?

When you finally get to the point that you can locate the "files" on the tape, then other questions come up, such as:

Was the tape actually written in tar format? Are additional parameters required, such as blocksize, etc.?
