Hi Sergey,
Thanks for your message and for the fix!
I've applied the patch and compiled GNU tar version 1.20 with Cygwin but
when executing tar command I get a segmentation fault:
9 [main] tar 460 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Error while dumping state
(probably corrupted stack)
/cygdrive/c/MY_BACKUP/bin/backup.sh: line 86: 460 Segmentation fault
(core dumped)
tar -cpvzf $HOME_BK/sets/$1/backups/$1_bk_`date +"%d-%m-%Y-%Hh%Mm%Ss"`.full
-g $HOME_BK/sets/$1/snapshots/$_snapshot_`date +"%d-%m-%Y-%Hh%MmSs"`.full -T
$HOME_BK/sets/$1/conf/$1.in `cat $HOME_BK/sets/$1/conf/$1.out`
9 [main] tar 1560 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Error while dumping
state (probably corrupted stack)
/cygdrive/c/MY_BACKUP/bin/backup.sh: line 86: 1560 Segmentation fault
(core dumped)
tar -cpvzf $HOME_BK/sets/$1/backups/$1_bk_`date +"%d-%m-%Y-%Hh%Mm%Ss"`.diff
-g $HOME_BK/sets/$1/tmp/$1_working_snapshot -T$HOME_BK/sets/$1/conf/$1.in
`cat $HOME_BK/sets/$1/conf/$1.out`
Despite the apparent complexity of the above tar's command arguments, think
of it as just an execution of tar with "--listed-incremental" option.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks again and kind regards!
