- Problem 1:
- This one is probably know, but when I do the following:
-
- gtar cvf machine:/dev/tape/device .
- gtar cvf /dev/tape/device .
-
- It should list the files as they are being processed. But all I get is blank
- lines. The amount the screen scrolls is the same as if it printed out the
- lines like it should have. It looks like the 'puts("\n")' are getting
- hit, just not the useful printf's.
-
- This is on HP/UX, 8.07, long file names. Stuff like such as
-
- gtar tvf machine:/dev/tape/device
-
- works just fine.
-
-
- Problem 2:
-
- I'm going to try to copy the gtar directory to the /tmp disk, into a directory
- called thing.
-
- mkdir /tmp/thing
- gtar cf - . | ( cd /tmp/thing ; ~/stuff/gtar/gtar xvf - )
-
- Here is what happened (slightly reformatted for mail):
-
- ------------------------------------
- ./
- Reading .
- tar-1.11.tar.Z
- /s/dizzy.unx.sas.com/local/u/sherman/stuff/gtar/gtar: couldn't change
- access and modification times of t_qF
- Xx-,4W~XphzV.Zv{QLBWugDK.kGr2F#6xfoL@C<.LY4qSFY^Wu;s||!UU`7o1d['BTuOh8_
- </GKYF*}F:z : No such file or directory
-
- /nfs/dizzy.unx.sas.com/local/u/sherman/stuff/gtar/gtar: cannot change mode
- of fi;s||!UF

- to 420 : No such file or directory Makefile
-
- /nfs/dizzy.unx.sas.com/local/u/sherman/stuff/gtar/gtar: couldn't change
- access and modification times of you have the freedom to distribute copies
- of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you
- receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the
- software or use pieces of it
- ------------------------------------
-
- And it promptly took off and started listing the rest of the contents of
- the tar file.
-
- This is a major crash. Oh, 3 files did make it into /tmp/thing before I
- stopped it: COPYING, Makefile, and tar-1.11.tar.Z. All of them were the
- right size and contents, but the wrong time stamp.
-
-
- Anyway, thought you would like to know...
