I have tried tar –xv iotest31.tar with my TAPE environment set to the /usr partition (/dev/ad0s2f) I get the error tar: iotest31.tar not found in archive. Any help would be great on this. Also, I need to create many large files. I remember you could create a file with a specified file size with SunOS. Does anyone know that command?
