Hello, I'm using an OpenSource Linux based cellphone. The software is provided as a tar-archive which must be unpacked into an ext2fs on a microSD; I do not have any Linux box and want to do this on my FreeBSD (10-CURRENT) laptop; I can mount the ext2fs fine and when I say: # cd /mnt # gtar --numeric-owner -xpzf shr-image-om-gta02.tar.gz it gives errors like this example for all special files: gtar: ./dev/hda7: Cannot utime: Operation not supported gtar: ./dev/hda7: Cannot change ownership to uid 0, gid 6: Operation not supported gtar: ./dev/hda7: Cannot change mode to rw-rw----: Operation not supported in the tar-archive the file looks like this # gtar tzvf shr-image-om-gta02.tar.gz | fgrep ./dev/hda7 brw-rw---- 0 root disk 3,7 Jan 8 23:36 ./dev/hda7 and after unpacking into /mnt it is: # ls -l dev/hda7 brw------- 1 root wheel 0x307 Jan 20 11:00 dev/hda7 Which is not what we want. I've checked the man page of devfs(8), but see no way to solve this. Any ideas? matthias -- Sent from my FreeBSD netbook Matthias Apitz, <guru@unixarea.de>, http://www.unixarea.de/ f: +49-170-4527211 UNIX since V7 on PDP-11, UNIX on mainframe since ESER 1055 (IBM /370) UNIX on x86 since SVR4.2 UnixWare 2.1.2, FreeBSD since 2.2.5
