Tar oddity...

[DB]

Hi All,

I've just (re)installed F12 on my laptop, & tried to copy my home 
directory (F11) from my desktop using tar.

The create went OK, & I can do tar tvh on the desktop no probs.  But 
when I connect the external drive to the laptop, tar tvh says it's 
closing because of previous errors; ark refuses to open the .tar.gz file 
as it has errors.

The versions of tar & ark *appear* to be the same......  Anyone got any 
ideas what I might do to find the errors???

As ever, thanks for your help!!!

Dave
