The best bet I currently have it applying the "sleep trick" (see here
<https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3230#issuecomment-340253679>)
to line 598ff
<https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-core-admin-client/blob/master/qubesadmin/backup/restore.py#L598>
in *restore.py*.
So this:
elif inner_name in self.handlers:
tar2_cmdline = ['tar',
'-%svvO' % ("t" if self.verify_only else "x"),
inner_name]
redirect_stdout = subprocess.PIPE
Would become something like this:
elif inner_name in self.handlers:
tar2_cmdline = ['tar',
'-%svvO' % ("t" if self.verify_only else "x"),
'--checkpoint=20000',
'--checkpoint-action=exec=\'sleep "$(stat -f --format="(((%b-%a)/%b)^5)*30"
/var/tmp | bc -l)"\'',
inner_name]
redirect_stdout = subprocess.PIPE
Too naive?
