Hmm, I wasn't able to reproduce it with a simple directory with a symlink in it: kirkl...@x200:~$ mkdir foo kirkl...@x200:~$ cd foo/o bash: cd: foo/o: No such file or directory kirkl...@x200:~$ cd foo/ kirkl...@x200:~/foo$ date > foobar kirkl...@x200:~/foo$ ln -s foobar link kirkl...@x200:~/foo$ ls -alF total 28 drwxr-xr-x 2 kirkland kirkland 4096 2009-10-03 13:17 ./ drwxr-xr-x 66 kirkland kirkland 20480 2009-10-03 13:17 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 kirkland kirkland 29 2009-10-03 13:17 foobar lrwxrwxrwx 1 kirkland kirkland 84 2009-10-03 13:17 link -> foobar kirkl...@x200:~/foo$ cd . kirkl...@x200:~/foo$ cd .. kirkl...@x200:~$ tar jcvf foo.tar.bz2 foo/ foo/ foo/foobar foo/link kirkl...@x200:~$ cp foo.tar.bz2 /tmp kirkl...@x200:~$ cd /tmp/ kirkl...@x200:/tmp$ tar jxvf foo.tar.bz2 foo/ foo/foobar foo/link
However, I think hg might be uncovering something we're doing wrong in eCryptfs. In fact, both bzr and git have already pointed out errors in eCryptfs, so I'm going to subscribe Tyler and ask him to take a look. :-Dustin ** Changed in: ecryptfs-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- tar cant archive symlinks on ecryptfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441237 You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs, which is subscribed to ecryptfs-utils in ubuntu.
