openSuSE 11.3 Kernel 2.6.34.7-0.5-default tar 1.23 Filesystem ext4 Starting with you guys.
When I run tar -vv -cRf test.tar --listed-incremental=root.db --one-file-system -b 256 --totals / > test.log and root.db does not exist tar completes successfully. If root.db exists from a previous run tar segfaults and I see this in messages: Nov 2 03:34:48 router kernel: [21938.384366] tar[29989]: segfault at 0 ip 000000000042e390 sp 00007fffc30ad078 error 4 in tar[400000+58000] This is 100% repeatable whether I output to a file or a SCSI tape drive, delete root.db it runs fine, if root.db exists from a previous run it segfaults. If I backup /opt or any other ext4 filesystem thus mount point I do not have this problem, seems to only occur when attempting to do an incremental backup of .(root). This just started occurring with openSuSE 11.3 install done two days ago.
