[Bug-tar] Problem with collection of files

[Arkadiusz Bieniek]

Hello

 

I have a problem with creation of big file archive tgz (62 GB)

 

syntax:

 

tar -cz -f "/backup/${LABEL}.tgz" --exclude-from ${EXCLUDES_FILE} --ignore-failed-read -P -g"$STATUS_FILE" /

 

It is full mode archive.

 

Inside  $STATUS_FILE is:

 

/backup
/home/public/nobackup
/home/sbackup/2dump
/home/sbackup/2index
/lost+found
/mnt
/proc
/var/lib/pgsql821/data/base
/var/lib/pgsql821/data/global
/var/lib/pgsql821/data/pg_clog
/var/lib/pgsql821/data/pg_xlog

Excludes work property; no listed folder is not created, but:

 

Into the archive was created empty /usr/sbin, empty /var/lib/pgsql821/bin too.

In this case these folders should be filled. I don't know what is missing else ?

What is the reason ? Same buffer overflow ?

 

My configuration:

 

CentoOS 5 with last "yum install"

tar 1.18
