dd if=... Not enough space 1

[MToombs]

I have been restoring tapes to our NAS using the command: dd if=/dev/rmt/1hbn | tar =pBxf -
For the previous 20 tapes all has worked well. Now I get an error "Not enough space." If I enter the file name instead of "| tar =pBxf - " all works well. This tape has a hundred files and I would like to automate it as much as possible.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Not to sure if this helps but check this link out. May have to do with blocking factor.
