Hi,
Is truss the same as strace?
Regards,
Tim.

So I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on another machine and copied the tar v1.22 from

So its looks like an issue with tar 1.26 that is distributed with
Ubuntu/Xubuntu 12.04 rather than a filesystem issue.
Sorry, but from the symptoms you described earlier, it very
much looks like a file system issue. It's true that you
are observing the bug only when you use tar 1.26, but it's
not a bug in tar 1.26 itself -- it's a file system (or
kernel) bug that tar 1.26 happens to be running into but
that earlier versions of tar do not.
Did you see truss output from the related part of the gtar run?
I would like to understand what filesystem bug might cause a missbehavior.
