I'm trying to restore files from tar image tape made on an SGI. Whether I use "dd" or "tar" I get the same complaint in syslog: st0: 262144-byte record too big I've tried various "bs=" and "conv=" to dd but get the same error so I suspect the "st" driver is upset with the tape. 262144 bytes is 256KB which seems unlikely to be a coincidence. This is on an Archive (Connor/Seagate) Python 4mm DDS2 which I've used successfully for Amanda. Kernel is 2.2.7-STABLE with a 2.2.6-STABLE OS. Any hints on how to recover this tape?
