TAR command , listing backed up files
I've backed up several files to tape using tar, and wish to list those that have backed up.

% tar cvf /dev/rmt/2un /s_1/oradata/pgpub/config.ora
a /s_1/oradata/pgpub/config.ora 2 tape blocks


But when I go to list the files:

% tar tvf /dev/rmt/2un
tar: tape read error


What am I doing wrong? How can I verify that it was backed up?

Thank you!
