PROBLEM: ( MANBBP075, HPXQC1120 ) (Patch ID: OSF415-400258) ******** 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: OSF415-400320) ******** 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: (QAR 50945, QAR 52097) (Patch ID: OSF415-400374) ******** This patch fixes problem in which /usr/bin/pax : cpio -pl does not link files when possible, but copies them. PROBLEM: (MCGMA0CZ6,QAR 57700) (Patch ID: OSF415-400457) ******** 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...
