After cleaning, same problem. Now, when I try to copy
data off the tape
using "COPY MUA0 NEWS.TAR", VMS gives me these errors:
%COPY-E-READERR, error reading _MUA0:[].;
-RMS-F-RER, file read error
-SYSTEM-W-DATAOVER, data overrun
%COPY-W-NOTCMPLT, _MUA0:[].; not completely copied
when I use dump, like "DUMP MUA0 /OUT=NEWS.DMP", it works just perfectly
fine, which leads me to believe it might be a VMS problem. Prior to now,
I was able to copy straight from the foreign mounted volume OK, but now
it's not working at all, even after I power-cycled the drive and the vax.
Help?
I'm assuming from the file name that the tape contains a Unix tar file. If
this is so, there are at least two "native" VMS programs designed to read
tar files. One is tar2vms (with it's partner vms2tar) which I've used many
times to read Unix tar tapes. A quick web search should find a copy nearby.
