Hi,

I have a tar file created using HP Unix. And I'm trying to untar it on the same machine and same directory. But, I'm getting the following error:

tar: cannot open /dev/rmt/0m

Can somebody please let me know why am I getting this error and how to resolve it.

Thanks,
Anil

What untar command are you trying? It should be something like:

tar -xvf yourfile.tar

x = Extract
v = verbose (optional, lists file info)
f = the tarfile
