You can still list and retrieve all files from the resulting archive by using -i (--ignore-zeros) option. > To me it looks like either the documentation should be > clarified or there's a bug in GNU tar. It is a bug in tar. It concatenates entire archives, including trailing zero blocks, so by default reading the resulting archive stops after the first concatenation. Regards, Sergey
