Re: [Bug-tar] Prb with tar

[Hichem Hamimed]

Okay, the result is...
- With tar-1.15.1, I did not resolve the problem, so it's doesn't work.
-With star, I resolve the problem. I backup maybe all the long filenames.
Thanks for all.

I want just to make a remark:
My first tar file have a size of 2 428 858 368 bytes. After "star" of this
file, the size of the directory obtained is 2 430 304 256 bytes. This seems
to be  normal.
BUT, my second tar file have a size of 4 066 791 424 bytes. After "star" of
this file, the size of the directory obtained is 3 956 883 456 bytes. Is it
normal to "loose" 109 907 968 bytes???  here is the stats I obtain after
this operation:
../TTT/star-1.5/star/OBJ/i686-cygwin32_nt-gcc/star_fat: 397147 blocks + 4096
bytes (total of 4066789376 bytes = 3971474.00k).
../TTT/star-1.5/star/OBJ/i686-cygwin32_nt-gcc/star_fat: The following
problems occurred during archive processing:
../TTT/star-1.5/star/OBJ/i686-cygwin32_nt-gcc/star_fat: Cannot: stat 0, open
543, read/write 0. Size changed 0.
../TTT/star-1.5/star/OBJ/i686-cygwin32_nt-gcc/star_fat: Missing links 0,
Name too long 0, File too big 0, Not dumped 0.
../TTT/star-1.5/star/OBJ/i686-cygwin32_nt-gcc/star_fat: Processed all

Thanks for all,
