Bug ID: 194477
Summary: 10.1-RC1 tar(1) spurious directory permission error
message
Product: Base System
Version: 10.1-RC1
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: Needs Triage
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I don't know if tar(1) is the culprit or an innocent bystander but this is what
I am seeing on 10.1-RC1 (r272468 amd64). The archive appears to be written
properly prior to generation of the error message.
Although the user is permitted to traverse the parent directory and read the -C
directory, tar(1) emits the complaint if the parent directory is not also
readable. Filesystem is UFS.
$ tar -czf dtt.tgz -C /data/tftp/thlan .
tar: .: Unable to continue traversing directory tree: Permission denied
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
$
$ ls -ld /data /data/tftp /data/tftp/thlan
drwxr-xr-x 33 root wheel 1024 2 Sep 20:13 /data
drwxr-x--x 4 root wheel 512 23 Apr 09:00 /data/tftp
drwxr-x--x 3 john wheel 512 23 Apr 10:28 /data/tftp/thlan
# chmod o+r /data/tftp
$ tar -czf dtt.tgz -C /data/tftp/thlan .
$
I haven't played with 10.0 but this behaviour is different to other earlier
releases (e.g. 9.3-RELEASE doesn't do this).
