Hi Thierry
Manual untar seems fine no issues at all. This seems more like copying the file
between usb to the local drive as I see stalls when the file is copied over
I am hoping someone can reproduce this issue I have reproduced this on 6
servers.. most of them supermicros 1 was a lanner device

A shot in the dark: there is a problem report on pkgsrc mailing list linked
with tar and extended attributes.
In the 10.* series, extended attributes have been added to libc (man 3 acl).
Furthermore, modifications have been made, concerning extended attributes, to
UFS (with a problem of incompatibility).
Possible culprit: tar and extended attributes (libc, kernel, filesystem),
involving acrobatics costing a lot of time.
