Hello,
bash-2.05# tar -xvf sunos.tar
tar: directory checksum error
bash-2.05# file sunos.tar
sunos.tar: data
bash-2.05#
Can someone please help me untar this. This is a Solaris 9 box.
It doesn't look like a tar file. What says:
od -c sunos.tar | head
?
bash-2.05# od -c sunos.tar | head

First thought is that the tar archive is corrupt.
Where did the archive come from? Did you create it?
Did you ftp it onto the system? If so, did you use "binary" transfer?
Whatever that file is, it is not a tar archive .
What do you get for:
file sunos.tar
That was in the OP, it doesn't recognize it, just says 'data'.
