Alternative to tar -verify (-W) option??
Hi! I'm wondering if anyone know of an alternative way to do the verification via the tape because the tape drive doesn't work with the -verify (-W) option. I got the read error and the documentation said
Code:
Verification requires that the archive be on a back-space-able medium. This means pipes, some cartridge tape drives, and some other devices cannot be verified. Thanks, Scott

Try to read the new tar archive using the dd command: dd if=/dev/your_tape bs=your_block_size of=/dev/null You will see whether the tape is readable. Better then nothing... Regards

i dont know the '-verify (-W) option' of tar
the best way to check tar is tar so tar cf[v] device-or-filename what-you-want and then tar tfv device-or-filename
