Is the Ultrix tar format identical with the BSD tar format?
I ask this in connection with the dual-ported disk question
I posted. It appears that my original suggestion of shared
filesystems isn't practical, but here's a plan B: suppose
the dual-ported disk had a reserved partition without a
Unix filesystem on it, and the other partitions were exclusively
assigned either to the 11/70(2.8BSD) or to the MicroVax II(Ultrix).
We could bundle up files using the 2.8BSD tar and leave the
result in the blank partition. Then users on the MicroVax
could "un-tar" them into their own directories. Any snags with
this concept (besides the inconvenience)?
