While experimenting with gnu tar 1.13.25, I got the infamous big numbers in the index file (I was previously using 1.12). The archives suggest 1.13.19 works, but the Amanda web page claims 1.13.18 with a patch (and the link to the patch returns an error). What options does Amanda call tar with? I would like to be able to verify that a tar build works correctly without waiting to run a backup (i.e., tar a directory to /dev/null creating the index file and then examine the index to see if it worked correctly).
