Package: tar Version: 1.29b-1.1 Severity: normal I wanted to create archive. I typed:
$ sudo tar --one-file-system --same-owner --numeric-owner -cpf /tmp/x.tar . And I saw: tar: /tmp/x.tar: Wrote only 8192 of 10240 bytes tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Then I discovered that tar filled all space on destination file system. So, error message is misleading. tar should say: no space left on device. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages tar depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.52-3 ii libc6 2.24-7 ii libselinux1 2.6-3 tar recommends no packages.
