As root, just untar the file to /tmp or other suitable location using the s option, move it to the desired location and (re)set its permissions.

From the Tru64 UNIX manpage for tar:

Code:
 s   [Tru64 UNIX]  Tells tar to strip off any leading slashes from pathnames
      during extraction.  This is useful when restoring a tape that was
      created on a system with a different file system structure.

Hi,
try pax if you have it
Code:
pax -rvs '#/##' < /dev/tape/tape14c
That will remove the leading slash ...

If you have not got enough space on the root filesystem, then you have to find
another filesystem with enough space before you can untar the file you want.
