Hello,
Since at least tar 1.22, there is an additional warning in short_read:
if (left && left % BLOCKSIZE == 0
&& verbose_option
&& record_start_block == 0 && status != 0)
{
unsigned long rsize = status / BLOCKSIZE;
WARN ((0, 0,
ngettext ("Record size = %lu block",
"Record size = %lu blocks",
rsize),
rsize));
}
Why is that done? Reads on pipes typically return short reads, and
these are typically aligned on page size, and thus record_size (10240
here) % BLOCKSIZE is typically 0...
The problem is that this makes the testsuite fail in comprec.at, where
verbose_option is set to 1 and thus the warning comes in the way while
the test actually succeeds.
