> tar: Unrecognized archive format: Inappropriate file type or format > tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. Confirmed in RELENG_7 as well. Interestingly enough, if the file inside the tarball is nothing but zeros (dd if=/dev/zero ...), I don't get this error. However, it doesn't work either. The resulting file is 0 bytes, rather than 10 GB of \0. Note that 10 1GB files worked just fine. Josh
