ok, I checked out the latest version of libarchive and tar (CURRENT) and
compiled them. Still the same problem - I can tar more than the tape can
hold (I tared all files of a filelist for a dds3 tape on a dds2 tape).
I got no error. Actually I'm restoring what I backuped on it.... But I
don't know if I see it finishing, because I'm on the way of leaving for
vacation...
