Do I need to extract the entire tar file to confirm the tar folder is fine?
I would like to confirm my file.tar is been tar-ed correctly before I remove them. But I have very limited disc space to untar it. Can I just do the listing instead of actual extract it? Can I say confirm folder integrity if the listing is sucessful without problem? Code:
tar tvf file1.tar Instead Code:
tar xvf file1.tar |

tvf switch should suffice but you can always untar it to another machine via ssh in this manner.. Of course, you will need space on that other host. Code:
cat yourtar.tar | ssh newhost "cd /restorefolder && tar xvf -" |
