https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D225639 Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |cem@freebsd.org, | |mm@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #1 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> --- Agreed. Tar could just be smarter about this -- simply don't pad when writ= ing to stdout. It's probably still reasonable / harmless to pad when writing to block devices. Tar in FreeBSD is mostly a thin shim around libarchive. Perhaps the right thing to do is to file a bug in upstream libarchive and follow it here. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
