Thread: Tar problems


hi,

ever since moving ubuntu 10.04 xubuntu 12.04 i've had problems using tar daily backups.

first issue tar v1.26 falsely detecting files/directories had changed when know had not been changed: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2021364

moved down v1.22 , seemed work week started hang causing processor jump 100% , each morning have kill process.

i've moved v1.23 problem facing log backup reporting verify finds contents differ quite few directories. again know these directories have not changed.

never had of these issues under ubuntu 10.04. causing large logs created , our backup check script (that runs on backup logs) reporting warning me. of course have review warning check not else wrong backup.

should note tar v1.23 run correctly had patch source code , rebuild it: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bu.../msg00023.html

update: have raised bug gnu tar have nothing...

in end installed ubuntu 10.04 on machine , copied tar (v1.22) there xubuntu 12.04.

looks working. problem tar v1.26 comes 12.04...
