If you try and verify a tape file, it's broken because it closes the tape file (causing a filemark to be written) but only does one BSF- it doesn't relocate to the front of the tape file just written. If you try and verify a regular file, you get the diagnostice: quarm.feral.com > tar --create --verify --file /tmp/foo.tar . tar in free(): warning: chunk is already free. >How-To-Repeat: Try verification. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
