Hi i have followed the following steps and found discrepancies with tar utility
*step 1 :* find ./ -type f -mtime +7 -name "*.00*" | wc -l = 13519 ( total files ) ( the size of this files is appx : 10GB ) *step 2: * find ./ -type f -mtime +7 -name "*.00*" | xargs tar zcvf Archieve_7.tar.gz *step 3:* du -h Archieve_7.tar.gz : 12 M *step 4:* i checked the contents using tar -tvf Archieve_7.tar.gz = 1806 why the total 13519 files not archived in my case ? i have tried tried tar instead of gz compression which also behaved similarly. Any help is much appreciated !!
