Hi
I'm guessing you are referring to the tar from the following report:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2012-05/msg00005.html
I no longer think in my instance that it is a trashed filesystem that is
causing my problem with tar.
I have installed a variety of other Ubuntu based operating system on
virtualbox and they all display errors as per my previous post.
As for an strace, do you want the entire strace and how best would it be
to get it to you?
Regards,
Tim.

I would like to understand what filesystem bug might cause a missbehavior
tar's strace output was fine. The problem appears to
be that the resulting file system was trashed. Here's a
symptom, after running 'tar':
$ ls -alh
ls: klogd: No such file or directory/
readdir is saying there's a directory entry 'klogd' but
lstat is saying there's not. Classic file system bug.
