Ok, I came across this issue today:
If I tell tar to create a compressed archive (tar -czvf) on an nfs mounted
partition that lacks sufficient space for the tar file, it processes all
listed files (even long after it ran out of space), returns zero and does not
print out an error message. It still returns zero if I don't tell it to
compress the archive (tar -cvf), but it does, at least, print an error
message, "Warning: Cannot close: No space left on device" . However, if this
occurrs on a directly connected partition, the expected error messages are
seen.
If I run stand alone gzip on a file in the above situation, it does detect
that it's run out of space.
