Hi ya,

Yesterday I have upgraded one of servers to RELENG_6_2 and no problems so far.
This morning I recieved an email from one of our system manager and told me that the backup has failed with the following message:

tar: Unrecognized archive format: Inappropriate file type or format

This happends when the following command is used:

# tar -tf /dev/sa0

It will show you the first 10 files and then exits.
After searching the MARC list, I found the following post:

http://marc.info/?l=freebsd-questions&m=117442965732289

Apparently nobody has (yet) replied to it. After reading a few posts about similar problems

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=111236

I'd updated the libarchive (lib/libarchive) and tar (usr.bin/tar) in the source tree to RELENG_6 and recompiled both, but still encounter same problem.

Anybody any idea how to fix this?

Kind regards,
