tar -xvf doesnt work

Hello

Im trying to extract this file

tar -xvf opt-samba-base.tar.tar
tar: 0511-169 A directory checksum error on media; 0 not equal to 75420.

but I get that message

I tried algo with gunzip and uncompress but nothing happens

gunzip -d opt-samba-base.tar.tar
gunzip: opt-samba-base.tar.tar: unknown suffix -- ignored


uncompress opt-samba-base.tar.tar
opt-samba-base.tar.tar.Z: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.


Any suggestions


Thanks in advance

tar -xvf doesnt work

Hello everyone

I resolved this issue, all you have to do itīs to change the last .tar to gz

opt-samba-base.tar.tar

opt-samba-base.tar.gz

then

gunzip opt-samba-base.tar.gz

opt-samba-base.tar

and then tar -xvf opt-samba-base.tar

And thatīs it

You can see your files.


I put the example if someone else have the same problem
