Hi, Tar should complain and die if an input path doesn’t exist. So, no, the behaviour you’re seeing isn’t broken. See also: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205358 <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205358>; This bug has been fixed upstream seems to have been imported into stable/10 in r302075. From the commit message: - tar and cpio should fail if an input file named on the command line is missing (vendor issue 708) I agree the message could be a bit clearer about what’s going on!
