Hi all..
I've got my level-0 dumps of most of my old Linux box and would like to recover my user accounts (spanning across 3 DLT tapes). To that end, I tried doing an interactive restore and get the following :
Now, obviously the dump was done under Linux (Fedora Core 6 to be exact). Are these errors caused by a slightly different dump format between FreeBSD dump vs. Linux dump? Should I try specifying some other args or use a linux restore instead? I should have checked this before I nuked the old Linux installation.

Code:
srv1# pwd
/home
srv1# restore ivf /dev/sa0
Verify tape and initialize maps
Tape block size is 10
Dump date: Sat Feb 21 21:17:07 2009
Dumped from: the epoch
Level 0 dump of /home on srv1:/dev/cciss/c0d0p2
Label: /home
Extract directories from tape
Mangled directory: reclen not multiple of 4 reclen less than DIRSIZ (1 < 12)
Mangled directory: reclen less than DIRSIZ (0 < 12)
