This should be an easy question for someone that uses tar alot. I was trying to recover the *.dist files into /etc/mtree that I clobbered by accident (don't ask). I used the bin.?? from my /dos/freebsd/bin directory from the install to do a cat bin.?? | tar -vtzf - | grep etc/mtree and it displayed the files. But when I do this: cat bin.?? | tar -vxzf - etc/mtree/BSD* -C /etc/mtree the first file is displayed, but nothing gets written to disk. The remaining files are not displayed. What is wrong with my tar statement? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
