PROBLEM: (KAOB83087) (PATCH ID: OSF540-041) ******** This patch fixes a one byte gap/hole in the maximum size in the tar command before an extended header record is used (8589934591 (octal 77777777777)). PROBLEM: (82676, 83023, 89034, 83595, 86613, 87468, 90044, 90078, 92134) (PATCH ID: OSF540-373) ******** This submit request fixes the following problems 1)Now tar command displays error upon any write errors. 2)tar/pax/cpio now have option not to alter ctime of input files upon creating the archive. And displays a warning message in case if not able to preserve the time for pax/cpio. 3)pax -l option creates hard links whenever possible 4)cpio -m does not overwrite the destination file if it has same mtime as of source file. 5)tar -o option makes sure now that all files will be owned by current user and not the user from archive, even for symlinks. 6)cpio handles files owned by users with exteneded uids properly. 7)pax handles directories which has ACL on them properly now. 8)tar works fine now with long filenames. PROBLEM: (95011) (PATCH ID: OSF540-249) ******** The following corrections are made to the tar program - when a trailing slash is presented to the extract (-x) and list (-t) options the specified directory will be restored without its contents. - when a directory specification includes more than one trailing slash the create (-c) option will now strip extra slashes before writing the directory name to the archive.
