They come from gtar :) The obvious answer is "you're out of memory" -- do you have enough swap? Is that a huge directory? The slightly less obvious answer may be that something funny happened with the filesystem -- perhaps the directory gtar was working in was deleted? Was NFS involved? ENOMEM tends to be used for reasons other than its literal meaning. Dustin -- Storage Software Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
