Date: 12 Apr 1996 20:42:41 GMT Organization: University of Bonn, Germany Lines: 50 Distribution: world Message-ID: <GORSKI.96Apr12224241@axiom.somewhere.de> NNTP-Posting-Host: rhrz-ts2-p2.rhrz.uni-bonn.de I've found some random errors in some of my tar-files. Using gnutar under FreeBSD produces random errors while extracting the archive. The same procedure under DOS works fine. I've verified these errors with creating several archives under DOS and FreeBSD, so it seems to be no termination error. I just do that to make some errors: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- tar -cf test.tar foo/ [creating works without errors] tar -vtf test.tar [filenames] .... [xyz filename] tar: read error on test.tar : Input/output error [same error as above] ... tar: Too many errors, quitting. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- xconsole says something like this: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- sd0(ahc0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:57de1d asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error , retries:4 sd0(ahc0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:57de1d asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error , retries:3 sd0(ahc0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:57de1d asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error , retries:2 sd0(ahc0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:57de1d asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error , retries:1 sd0(ahc0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:57de1d asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error , FAILURE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I can't explain these errors, because the source file is readable. Any hints? Thanks for reply.
