User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030208 Netscape/7.02

hardware:
onstream ADR2.120 Si (scsi internal) on Adaptec 2940
linux: SuSE 7.3
kernel: 2.4.18 SMP
tar version: 1.13.18

short description:
compression does not effect with -b64

details:

i'm using tar with this parameters (onstream tape needs blocking data to 32k):
-cvzb64 -f /dev/rmt0
effect:
on a 30/60GB there's an input/output error aftwer writing 30GB
(without z parameter, there's a 'no space left on device' message after that).

if i use (according to manpage) this parameters:
--block-compress -cvzb64 -f /dev/rmt0
there's a message: 'Obsolete option, now implied by --blocking-factor'
(-b is, according 'tar --help', --blocking-factor)
*but the compression seems to work* - 32 GB stored successfully
