- For some reason that I'm trying to find out right now (with lots of help
- from the people having the problem such as Jim Guyton and Wes Price), there
- seems to be some problems with 'tc' and older Exa8200s
-
- It's possible that the problem may not be that however...
- Does
-
- $ tar cbf 16 /dev/rmt/tc4 .
-
- Work okay?
- Then
-
- $ tar tvbf 16 /dev/rmt/tc4
- ?
