Error on running tar -zxvf /dev/st0

Hi,

I got the below error message on doing a "tar -zxvf /dev/st0", ran it to
check status of files, file sizes, directory structure
that's backed up on SCSI tape drive.

Any idea what the problem is? Thanks for any ideas.


[root@www tmp]# tar -zxvf /dev/st0
tar (child): /dev/st0: Cannot read: Cannot allocate memory
tar (child): At beginning of tape, quitting now
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[root@www tmp]#
