Problem with file system

[Ameet Nanda]

Hi,
I tried to untar using the command tar -xvzmf.

The error I got after tar runs for sometime was :
---------------------------------------
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
----------------------------------------

on doing a fsck.ext3 i get the result as:
--------------------------------------------------------------

/dev/sda2: ********** WARNING: Filesystem still has errors **********


   15162 inodes used (0.50%)
      84 non-contiguous inodes (0.6%)
