Quoting Joerg Schilling <[email protected]>:
The -E flag does not create POSIX compliant extensions.
Obviously, since POSIX limits the filename to 100 chars... Any tar
command that accepts more can't produce POSIX-compliant archives,
correct?
That is made clear in pax(1).
So the question would be rather if full compliance to a standard
defined 20 years ago is required.
Having tools that default to different levels of compliance is
certainly confusing, as the original post proves.
