It is a known bug in gtar-1.27 and 1.28 The bug is already fixed but is not released yet. Downgrade to gtar-1.26 or compile gtar from the git repository. Jean-Louis On 20/08/15 10:25 AM, Jose M Calhariz wrote:
Hi, I have been using amanda for some years without problems on Debian systems using Debian packages of amanda. Now I found a problem. Most probably because I changed to amgtar instead of normal gnu tar. When restoring using amrecover, the add command is no longer recursive. If I tag a directory, it only extracts the directory, not is contents and children. For what I found until now, the amrecover calls after a chain of calls, tar xcf - --files-from=<file>. For the version of tar that I am using,v. 1.27.1-2+b1, --files-from is not recursive option. This is what I found until now. Anyone is using amgtar without problems? Any comments or suggestions?
