it is nearly the same hardware/os i use

same thing

look at my ealier post, i describe the same problem.

http://www.nabble.com/dom0---tar:-Skipping-to-next-header-td16558409.html

so i get the error with etch 32 bit / 64 bit, xen 3.1 / 3.2 , with 
2.6.18 kernel xen , with gentoo kernel 2.6.20r6 xen. It wasnt all the 
time. But i have to reboot the maschine to get it solved for a while. So 
i testet it with ca. 5 machines, setup in different ways with other 
kernels.
I think i could be a kernel compile parameter? or via chipset in 
relation to 3ware raid controller?
