The identical names might cause problems. > (don't want to .. experiment with this) Since i have no experience with btrfs, i cannot create such a tarball. But you could create a small ext filesystem in a file, mount it and make experiments with it. From the view of the Linux kernel the expectable unpacking activities of tar should not be too exotic. I am quite sure that attempts to link a file to itself have happened in the last 25+ years: $ ln x x ln: failed to create hard link ‘x’: File exists > the "machine" is a VM, pre-installed by Google, and it has more mounts > than dog has fleas :-) (but '/' says is on btrfs) I know that flea effect from ZFS on Solaris. It makes the mount command nearly unusable for information gathering. Have a nice day :) Thomas
