I have encountered a problem trying to install a system with the 2.0.5-0622-SNAP from an Exabyte 8200 8mm tape drive (connected to a BusLogic BT-747S SCSI controller). It gets to the point where it is trying to extract data from the tape and then fails with the message: st0: 10240-byte record too big Is it likely that the problem is truly the blocksize? This (10240 bytes) appears to be tar's default blocksize. Should I specify a different blocking factor when creating the tar tape of the distribution? Thanks, -- Bob Willcox bob@luke.pmr.com (or obiwan%bob@uunet.uu.net) Austin, TX
