[Help-tar] Re: Problems with gtar -M -F <script> ; empty 2nd tar file

[address@hidden]

Hi there,

Sol10u6 :

We have run into many occurrences where the 2nd (or subsequent) tar files 
generated by gtar are of zero length 0. Additional testing confirmed that it is 
the tar size being 0 (/tmp/.tar/BKFULLSYS2.tar) and there appears to be no 
issues with mkisofs.

label=BKFULLSYS
creating XACBMT5_BKFULLSYS_2.tar
writing tar dir contents: /opt/sspfs/bks/cdwrite /tmp/.tar BKFULLSYS_2

The command we are running:

gtar --exclude=MtceInProgress --numeric-owner -c -M -F 
/opt/sspfs/bks/changeCdVol -f /tmp/.tar/current.tar /.host_info /.disk_conf -C 
/tmp/.dir_struct . -C /tmp/.snap .

Are you aware of this issue, are there any patches?

Any help /pointers appreciated

Thanks
