Hi, Observed some behaviour change in tar which caught us out. 4.2 / 4.4-Release: $ tar cfz - . | tar tfz - >/dev/null $ echo $? 0 4.8-Release: $ tar cfz - . | tar tfz - >/dev/null gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors $ echo $? 2 Did some searching on google/bsd and PRs but couldn't find anything. Looks like when tar is writing to a pipe, it pads to a block size ? Is this normal behaviour now ? Thanks Paul.
