- I am using a Sun SPARCserver 4/490 with an 8mm tape drive on /dev/rst0.
- I can use tar to put files on the tape, but I cannot add files to the tape
- after the initial tar.
-
- For example, I tar several files to the tape and later want to add a file
- to the end of the existing tar file. The u (update) and r (write) options
- to tar return errors.
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated.

- Thanks,
