All,

Trying to uncompress a .tar file downloaded form
www.soliddata.com/products/readme.txt named
iotest31.tar.  I have tried tar –xv iotest31.tar with
my TAPE environment set to the /usr partition
(/dev/ad0s2f) I get the error tar: iotest31.tar not
found in archive.  Any help would be great on this.

Also, I need to create many large files.  I remember
you could create a file with a specified file size
with SunOS.  Does anyone know that command?

Thanks,

Curtis
