Here is a report of a problem that still exists in pax. I'll see if I can reproduce it and/or fix it... -Tom ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 8 Jul 1999 16:22:29 -0700 From: Nathan Myers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: broken pax Tom, Your tomsrtbt is an amazing construction. I used pax on 1.7.134 to unpack a big tarball, and it completely messed up the hard links. Pax has some kind of off-by-one problem, so names that come in adjacent to groups of file names that share a single inode also get linked to that inode. This makes it rather hazardous to use pax at all. This has got to be the biggest problem on your distro. Has anybody else reported this? Do you feel equipped to work on it, or is there somebody else I should be reporting it to? Nathan Myers [EMAIL PROTECTED]
