Package: tar Version: 1.16-2 Severity: normal I was hoping to save what I can from a disk which starts to show read errors, by using the following command:
sudo tar --ignore-failed-read -C /media/data_big -cv -f - . | sudo tar -C /mnt -x -f - Unfortunately, after the reading tar encountered about three unreadable files, the two processes got desynchronized somehow, and stracing the receiver tar revealed that it did nothing but read lots of data from standard input. As a result, nothing got to the destination disk after the read errors were encountered. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-ovz-686 Locale: LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages tar depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries tar recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
