[techtalk] Corrupted tar file

Hello, I think I\'m missing something obvious :
I get the error \"unexpected EOF in archive\" when
I\'m trying to untar a large backup tar.

How can I extract as most files as possible from
the tar ? Do I need something else to fix it,
similar to bzip2recover ?

I have tried unsucessfully --ignore-zeros and
--ignore-failed-read

Thanks for any hint !
Alain
