The file's size is stored elsewhere, so even if star prints the right size that doesn't mean that no data went missing. GNU tar prints the right size here too, not that that helps recover data that's not there. (At least GNU tar doesn't dump core here, like star does. :-) _______________________________________________ Bug-tar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-tar
