Public bug reported: I have been getting several problems with when extracting files from archives or copying files from CD's. The only common feature I can find is that the errors seem to happen when folders are being created or modified recursively.
Platform: Ubuntu 7.10 (though I have also seen this on 6.10) AMD64 Partition type: ext3 Drive: SAMSUNG HD300LD coreutils version: 5.97-5.3ubuntu3 For example: download 20070725084555687_UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz into /home/john/temp2 from http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/download/supportDownDetail.do?group=&type=&subtype=&model_nm=SCX-4100&disp_nm=SCX-4100&mType=DR&dType=D&vType=L&cttID=214860&prd_ia_cd= If I extract specific files from the archive the ownership & permissions are usable: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd /home/john/temp2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp2$ tar --wildcards --mode +rw -x -z -o -f 20070725084555687_UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz *.ppd [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp2$ ls -l /home/john/temp2/cdroot/Linux/noarch/at_opt/share/ppd total 1668 -r--r--r-- 1 john john 61959 2007-06-07 12:26 CLP-200splc.ppd ... -r--r--r-- 1 john john 8857 2007-04-20 08:53 sf531p.ppd However if I extract all of the files from the archive the owner & permissions of some of them are not usable and ls reports the number of files in the folder as zero: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp2$ sudo rm -r /home/john/temp2/cdroot [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp2$ tar --wildcards --mode +rw -x -z -o -f 20070725084555687_UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp2$ ls -l /home/john/temp2/cdroot/Linux/noarch/at_opt/share/ppd total 0 ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? /home/john/temp2/cdroot/Linux/noarch/at_opt/share/ppd/CLP-200splc.ppd ... ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? /home/john/temp2/cdroot/Linux/noarch/at_opt/share/ppd/sf531p.ppd chown & chmod afterwards do not fix this, even with sudo. I have had similar problems with cp from cdroms, and with a recursive chmod after a cp that appeared to work.
