OK, on my old and now dead DVD device this worked with -c (dunno why suspect it was rather slow so one could get a constant data stream)...
Does not work on the newer replacement without -cz and then unreliably (get an I/O error)..but files are extractable, so this seems to be hardware related...
I'll try a test on another system later to find out if it's the DVD drive that's causing the problem, or possibly something to do with the Mac hardware.
still can read tar archive directly however...
Same here. Writing the tar using growisofs works just fine, and can be read back using /dev/hdc .
