Any idea what that is all about?
There are many possible reasons:
1) A well known bug in GNU tar (self incompatibility to
GNU tar archives).
I recommend you to use star to check the archive for correctness.
2) You did not use a recent original mkisofs to create the image
3) There is a bug in your Linux kernel.
You would first need to check with a tar implementation that is kown
to work (star).

Hi,
Sorry so long to reply but me and k3b have been having "discussions"
about burning a huge DVD. I emerged star but it may as well be Greek,
no offense to the Greek. Just something I will have to sit down and
read sometime.
I got the DVD burned with a larger than 4Gb file. Konqueror as a user
says: "Could not enter folder /media/hdd/" and I hear glass breaking.
I assume that is not good. Mount gives me this with regard to the DVD:
/dev/hdd on /media/hdd type udf (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
I think this is a permissions issue. Konqueror as root works just
fine. May need to beat on fstab or something with regards to that.
More on that in a minute.
I can however access the DVD as root on the command line. So, I just
used tar and started to extract it. It seems to be doing fine at the
moment. I will test further with larger files tho just to make sure.
At least this time it unpacked the tarball with no errors. After all,
what's the point of back-ups if you can't unpack them?
For the record, here is the current settings:
k3b: under the burn screen I selected custom and then level 3 ISO,
selected all file systems, preserve file permissions.
Now back to the permissions issue.
fstab:
/dev/hdc /media/hdc iso9660
noauto,users 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/hdd auto noauto,users 0 0
Anybody see any reason why a non root user can't access the DVD?
I have set the permissions on /media/hdd to root/users with both having
r/w access. However after I insert a DVD, something changes it to this:
d--------- 2 root root 116 2008-07-08 11:14 hdd
This is how I set it up:
drwxrwxr-x 2 root users 48 2008-07-04 14:21 hdd
It also changes back to my settings after I eject the DVD.
I *think* I got the tar part working. Any clues on the permissions
issue? Udev doing this? I got something set wrong?
Thanks
Dale
:-) :-)
