Importing SINIX V5.43 ufsdump to Solaris 8 with ufsrestore

Hello all,

I need some help. I'm trying to import an old 8mm Exabyte tape, once written on SINIX V5.43 with ufsdump. My Solaris 8 system's tape drive is ready and working. tcopy recognises tape and records but ufsrestore fails with:

Media read error: not enough space

Changing different block sizes with -b resulted in different error messages.

Old SINIX system has gone away years ago. Think it might be possible, but don't know how ...

Know how to help?

Thanks in advance!

Going for the obvious here, but are you sure that you have enough free disk space at the location where you're trying to restore the tape? :)

Yes of course - that is not the problem for sure ...
