PROBLEM: (54202, 79596, BCPM412T3) (PATCH ID: OSF445-094) ******** This patch fixes a problem with the tar command. Corruption occurs when restoring a file system that contains more than two hard links to a file. PROBLEM: (DM07739) (PATCH ID: OSF445-180) ******** This patch corrects pax/tar/cpio to properly extract explicitly specified files. When an archive contained a file with extended attributes and a different file (occurring later in the archive) was specified to be extracted, improper buffer pointer management resulted in the following display (example uses tar): tar: /dev/nrmt0h : This doesn't look like a tar archive tar: /dev/nrmt0h : Skipping to next file... tar: Memory allocation failed for extended data while reading : Not enough space The directory option was similarly affected. In this case the information for the specified file was not reported. PROBLEM: (MCGMA0CZ6, 81774) (PATCH ID: OSF445-128) ******** 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: (BCSM31S18, 79413) (PATCH ID: OSF445-130) ******** This patch fixes a problem where the tar -F (Fasttar) option ignores files named "err" but doesn't ignore files named "errs" and directories named "SCCS" and "RCS".
