Well, I haven't got round to debugging bsdtar (it compiles without warning using 'make' in /usr/src/usr.bin/tar/), but it turns out gtar works fine, using -h instead of -L . Thanks very much to both of you for pointing me towards a solution.

Yup, looks like I'm using bsdtar Now that you know which tar you're using, :-) time to drag out the standard debugging process for segmentation faults. 1) get the sources 2) compile, adding -g 2a) If you get any compiler warnings, fix them and send the diffs to the maintainer. Often fixing the compiler warnings will fix a seg fault. 3) Try it again. If it still seg faults, run it under a debugger and get a stack backtrace. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

tar segmentation fault
Hello, I want to backup certain parts of my system regularly, so I made a directory which reflects the filesystem: backup/ etc/ - link to /etc usr/ home/ me/ somefile - link to some specific file in my home directory public_html/ various_links_to/ - directories_which/ - really_exist_in_my/ - public_html/ - Basically it's a collection of symlinks to stuff I want backed up. Then I run tar -cLvy -f /usr/home/me/backup/backup.tar.bz2 /usr/home/me/backup/source/ When source/usr/home/me/public_html is empty then it runs fine. But when I put any links in, tar dies with a segmentation fault. Has anyone got any ideas why?
