[Bug-tar] bug tar

User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.1.11) Gecko/20100714 SUSE/3.0.6 Thunderbird/3.0.6

$ tar -rf no_tar_file dir
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

But it appends to ... (no_tar_file was > 512 bytes)

If it's < 512 bytes, it will no msg appear and append to 10K of 0x0

$ tar -uf no_tar_file dir ### the same like above, exceept for the small
file, it gets data.

--

tar -cf some.tar dir -V "/"
tar -tvf some.tar
tarr: Removing leading `/' from member names

tar -xvf some.tar
tarr: Removing leading `/' from member names

 it's only the volume ;-))

Cheers
Thomas
