X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 28 May 2007 20:52:49 -0000 When compressing files with specific filenames it appears that BSD tar is creating invalid archives which when handed to gnutar to expand it errors with the following: [log] tar -xvzf test.tar.gz tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev' tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino' tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink' cantiquedeno\353l1_loop.wav tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [/log] This archive contains just a single file with no special attributes yet BSD seems to be doing something strange due to the filename only. The following is the out of the filename using ls and find: user@m1:music> ls -l cantiquede* -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 1766066 Feb 8 20:54 cantiquedeno?l1_loop.wav user@m1:music> find . -name can\* ./cantiquedenoël1_loop.wav I've tested creating the tar with gtar and all is well when expanded so I can only conclude at this point that BSD is broken in some way by this strange filename. tar --version bsdtar 1.01.020, libarchive 1.02.006 Copyright (C) 2003-2004 Tim Kientzle Steve ================================================ This e.mail is private and confidential between Multiplay (UK) Ltd. and the person or entity to whom it is addressed.
