Package: tar Version: 1.15.1-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch Greetings,
When creating a multivolume tar archive, if the file which ends up being split across two tapes has a filename longer than 100 characters, tar exits with a fatal error. Reading through this thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2005-04/msg00012.html It appears that this isn't really an error, and it appears to have been changed to a warning in upstream cvs: http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/tar/tar/src/buffer.c.diff?r1=1.81&r2=1.82 In fact, according to the thread, it seems that the file would end up with the correct name anyway in the end. Please apply the patch from the thread (or the second half of the patch applied to CVS) to reduce this from a fatal error to a warning. This is seriously hampering my backups.
