Hello everybody.

When I manually extract a tar image from tape, then list or extract it's
contents, I seem to always get the following:

  gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored
  gtar: Child returned status 2
  gtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors


My guess is that this is OK, and is just what is left of the last 32K
block that has no actual data in it.

Is this correct?  If not, what is this and is it bad?


Thanks in advance!
