Hi Ignacy,

    Where did you tar the d: drive to? Can you post the tar syntax you used here?
I tried the following way:
    /u/gao>tar -cf dance.tar tmp
            where the tmp is a mounted directory from os2 system ---- the d: drive of
                                                                 dance.watson.ibm.com

    I didn't get the trap D. However, I got the RPC reply failed. I will investigate
this problem.

    Please provide detail information in order to reproduce the problem here. Thanks,

P.S.  I assume you are running OS/2 2.0. Is this correct?
