Hi there,

When using tar to backup my system to tape .. I noticed that tar doesn't
seem to report an error if it reached the end of the tape, but did not
finish archiving my files ... I was expecting some sort of "out of space on
tape" type error since the archive couldn't fit .. is there any way to get
tar to report an error when this occurs?

thanks,
Andrew Eross
