Patch Name: PHCO_8013 Patch Description: s700 9.X tar(1) cumulative patch Creation Date: 96/10/18 Post Date: 96/10/23 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 9.01 9.03 9.05 9.07 Products: N/A Filesets: UX-CORE Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/9.X/PHCO_8013 Symptoms: PHCO_8013: tar goes into an infinite loop because of a problem in libc.a. This tar is now linked to a good libc.a. PHCO_6225: tar is unable to extract non HP archives with extended ascii filenames PHCO_4807: The tar(1) command delivered as part of patch PHCO_4326 can not process filesystems with non-standard blocksizes. These include AFS, DCE/DFS and ClearCase MVFS. This version of tar is linked against the libc.a provided by patch PHCO_4666 for the S700 to fix the problem. PHCO_4713: Handle end of volume correctly for floppies. Rebuilt 9.X tar patch for s700/9.01, 9.03, 9.05 systems. This patch is built with the latest libc.a patch for s700 ( PHCO_4370 ) PHCO_4326: Rebuilt 9.X tar patch for s700/9.01, 9.03, 9.05 systems. This patch is built with the latest libc.a patch for s700 ( PHCO_4186 ). PHCO_3644: fix to tar 'u' option not recursively searching into directories given as argument if those directory files have not been modified. tar fixes for symbolic link, blocksize(S300), 'u ' option, special files, getpwnam problems, blocking factor of stdout, blocking factor for 9-track tape and not overwriting soft links 'r' option for non Mag tape devices. The extra '/' prefix when root ('/') is tarred. 'r' option over multi volume backups. (No manpage changes) PHCO_3357: fix to tar 'u' option not recursively searching into directories given as argument if those directory files have not been modified. tar fixes for symbolic link, blocksize(S300), 'u ' option, special files, getpwnam problems, blocking factor of stdout, blocking factor for 9-track tape and not overwriting soft links 'r' option for non Mag tape devices. The extra '/' prefix when root ('/') is tarred. 'r' option over multi volume backups. (No manpage changes) PHCO_2568: tar fixes for symbolic link, blocksize(S300), 'u ' option, special files, getpwnam problems, blocking factor of stdout, blocking factor for 9-track tape and not overwriting soft links 'r' option for non Mag tape devices. The extra '/' prefix when root ('/') is tarred. 'r' option over multi volume backups. (No manpage changes) PHCO_1840: tar fixes for symbolic link, blocksize(S300), 'u ' option, special files, getpwnam problems, blocking factor of stdout, blocking factor for 9-track tape and not overwriting soft links 'r' option for non Mag tape devices.
