    Hello,
    
    I get the same error message(tar: [offset 0]: No space left on device)
    when reading a qic-150 6150 tape.  It was tared from SunOS v4.1. 
    
    The command used: #tar xvf /dev/rmt1m
    
    I also tried with block size: #tar xvfb /dev/rmt1m 126.
    
    The error message is similar if using /usr/opt/obsolete/sbin/tar:
    tar: tape read error: No space left on device.
    
    Any hints or suggestions are appreciated!
