Hi Sergey, thx for quick response :D I have also read the link you've given and there is this subsection: Notice, that if you create an archive in POSIX format (see section GNU tar and POSIX tar) and the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, then the two archives created using the same options on the same set of files will not be byte-to-byte equivalent even with the above option. This is because the posix default for extended header names includes the PID of the tar process, which is different at each run. To produce byte-to-byte equivalent archives in this case, either unset POSIXLY_CORRECT, or use the following option: ---pax-option=exthdr.name=%d/PaxHeaders/%f,atime:=0,ctime:=0 , which I need to test but I suppouse that it should be without one - for pax-option BR Piotr Od: Sergey Poznyakoff <g...@gnu.org.ua> Wysłane: poniedziałek, 24 lipca 2023 18:43 Do: Piotr Łobacz <p.lob...@welotec.com> DW: bug-tar@gnu.org <bug-tar@gnu.org> Temat: Re: posix atime/ctime changes despite mtime being set Hi Piotr, The --mtime option does not affect atime and ctime. If you want full binary compatibility, use also the --pax-option option, e.g.: --pax-option 'atime:=0,ctime:=0' or --pax-option 'delete=atime,delete=ctime' See the end of subsection "Controlling Extended Header Keywords" of the GNU tar manual for suggestions on how to create binary equivalent archives in POSIX format.
