Problems with tar command

Hello

Somebody can help me, I try to extract a file by tar command but I get this error message

root@mxlgjac/home/bistrain# tar -xvf C57U6ML.tar
tar: 0511-169 A directory checksum error on media; 804399312 not equal to 62020.

The file in tar format its on the same directory, where I try to extract the file.
I use the root user to do this.

this is the output from the ls -l command

root@mxlgjac/home/bistrain# ls -l
total 401005
-rwx------ 1 bistrain ibmadmin 284 Nov 28 18:30 .profile
-rw------- 1 bistrain ibmadmin 2152 May 15 23:36 .sh_history
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 10641 Jan 23 16:22 .toc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 205278318 May 15 21:59 C57U6ML.tar

Your tar program opened C57U6ML.tar but it didn't like the contents of the file. Maybe the tar file is corrupt. Or maybe it was created by a different version of tar.

Thanks for the information Perderabo
