- hi, i'm trying to write a tar archive to a 4mm DAT tape on
- an HP 720 (hpux 8.05) and then read it on an SGI 440s (irix
- 4.0.1) and it sez: checksum error, giving up...
-
- i just used plain old tar cvf to create it on the HP and then
- checked it with tar tvf and all was fine then came over to
- the SGI and it won't read it (even dd won't read anything off
- of it) - any ideas?
