https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D271261 Bug ID: 271261 Summary: archivers/gtar: GNU tar fails to write to pipe via stdout. Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: naddy@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mstone2001@msn.com Flags: maintainer-feedback?(naddy@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: naddy@FreeBSD.org Trying to pipe GNU Tar output to another process fails. I do this to write= the output to another machine via ssh. I have distilled it down to the simple case: gtar -c somefile.txt | cat > somefile.tar I receive the following error: gtar: /dev/sa0: Cannot open: Operation not supported gtar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now I have tried this on fedora, ubuntu, and netbsd, and all create the file somefile.tar as expected. bsd tar works fine: tar -c somefile.txt | cat > somefile.tar=20 Creates the file as expected. Unfortunately I need gnu tar due to the incremental options not available in bsd tar. I'm running 13.2 release. gnu tar is latest version 1.34 install= ed from pkg. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
