List of tapes sent to CoRA 2007 July 6.

These are all Exabyte Mammoth 170m tapes; each tape contains 13 (occasionally 14
) tar files of about 2GB each. The tape label reads, e.g. Tarlog 20010927_200109
27_12.

There are 130 tapes, each with about 26 GB of data. Say 3.4 TB worth.

To read file n to disk (Unix systemV-style device name):
mt -f /dev/rmt/0n fsf n
tar xvf /dev/rmt/0n
The files will be put in subdirectories named for the date of observation, e.g. 
20010923. The tarlog is named for the day the tar file was written, and likely w
ill contain observations from earlier days. See the listings on the UH Solar web
site.

Coping with problems: tar isn't very helpful when it gets a tape error; it just 
gives up. Sometimes you can copy the file to disk with dd then untar it.
