Please read the spec again:
3,4
Represent character special files and block special files
respectively. In this case the devmajor
and devminor fields shall contain information defining the
device, the format of which is
unspecified by this volume of POSIX.1-2008.
The devmajor and devminor values are NOT for the device the file is stored on,
but the “target” value of block and character device nodes. (The cpio formats
have both, ustar doesn’t.)
Closing as invalid; this is a bug in the LSB testsuite, not in pax.
** Changed in: pax (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
