Thanks for the quick response! I was able to salvage a similarily damaged (in fact, the same fs) from a backup. This is a mildly (fixable by fsck.vfat) fat fs corrupted by a power interrupt - only few files give IO error. I downloaded and built tar-1.15.2-20050902 from ftp://download.gnu.org.ua/pub/alpha/tar. I verified that tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1 from tar-1.15.1-10.FC4 reproducibly exhibits this bug whereas tar (GNU tar) 1.15.2 from tar-1.15.2-20050902.tar.bz does not. -- v -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Bug-tar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-tar
