tar archives on MSS

This list includes tapes which were copied by VMSTAR to tar archives on MSS in either of two formats:

GSS (Gettape Stotape System), which were copied to gss.tar.
BCK (VMS backup), which were copied to all.tar.

The GSS and BCK directory structures were preserved by VMSTAR. If multiple runs were performed, there are multiple entries all.tar and all.tar;n (or gss.tar and gss.tar;n). This list includes all versions of either gss.tar or all.tar in each MSS directory.

The tar archives were repaired to remove duplicate and defective versions of files.

besttar.txt
913 files, 39 GB, in 913 directories

This list includes the best version of either gss.tar or all.tar. Zero-length files and duplicate files from a single tape are excluded. Duplicate files from different tapes are included.

tarinfo1.txt (sorted by original tape number)
tarinfo2.txt (sorted by MSS tape number)
913 files, 39 GB, in 913 directories

This list was made from besttar.txt and the output from msstapes.scr, below. It includes tape number, owner, size, date, tarfilename, and MSS tape number.

The following script was run in mss.lbl.gov to determine the MSS tape number of each tar file.
