PROBLEM: (MGO101962 QAR 43077) (Patch ID: OSF375-350303) ******** If a database file has been created with preallocated but unused disk space, the copy operation of tar does not preserve this preallocated space and the restore (tar xv) operation will therefore create a file that is of the size of the actual used blocks. PROBLEM: (MANBBP075 HPXQC1120) (Patch ID: OSF375-350333-1) ******** The pax program (invoked as pax, tar or cpio) would incorrectly handle files larger than 4GB in size. The program would not complain on creation of an archive, however it had truncated the filesize when writing it to the archive file header. Thus on extract, it would appear to have found a corrupt archive. In addition it will now warn when it truncates a file that is too large to be archived (8 GB). PROBLEM: (SQO100400) (Patch ID: OSF375-350400) ******** This patch fixes a problem with the tar "tv" command in reporting ownership on a file that had no legitimate owner at the time it was archived. Based on the position of the file in the archive, tar returned the owner of a previous file, or the values -973 for userid and -993 for groupid. PROBLEM: (MCGMA0CZ6) (Patch ID: OSF375-108) ******** This patch fixes a problem with the tar and pax programs. These programs incorrectly append files to an existing archive and cause the file to become corrupt. A user will not notice the corruption until they read the archive using either the "tar t" or "tar x" commands. For example, a file named foo.tar would have the following message in the middle of the output: tar: foo.tar : This doesn't look like a tar archive tar: foo.tar : Skipping to next file... PROBLEM: (QAR 47127) (Patch ID: OSF375-124) ******** This patch fixes the following problems with the pax command when cpio format is used: o The cpio -z command hangs the system when small files are read using a large block size. o When reading a series of commands, cpio fails on the second command and displays a "No input" error message. If an identical third cpio read is issued, cpio works as expected.
