Package: tar Version: 1.25-3 Severity: normal Hi,
I'm doing incremental backup with tar: $ tar -g test.snar -cf test.tar --one-file-system / /boot This seems to work, but afterwards a compare fails: $ tar -g /dev/null -C / -df test.tar tar: bin/: Cannot savedir: Not a directory tar: boot/grub/: Cannot savedir: Not a directory tar: Skipping to next header tar: boot/initrd.in/initramfs-root/: Cannot savedir: Not a directory tar: Skipping to next header tar: boot/initrd.in/initramfs-root/dev/: Cannot savedir: Not a directory tar: Skipping to next header tar: boot/initrd.in/initramfs-root/etc/: Cannot savedir: Not a directory tar: Skipping to next header tar: boot/initrd.in/initramfs-root/etc/lvm/: Cannot savedir: Not a directory tar: A lone zero block at 25 tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors $ Note: /boot is on a different filesystem than /, but since /bin also causes an error, this should not be the problem. Version 1.20-1+lenny1 of tar had worked fine. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (950, 'stable'), (800, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35.11 Locale: LANG=de_DE@euro, LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages tar depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib tar recommends no packages.
