Problem with tar on RHEL5.8
Hi All,

I have a tar file that I want to extract, I need the permissions and owners of the file to be the same as on when they were tared.

I am using this command to un-tar the file.

tar --acl --xattrs --same-owner --same-permissions -zvxf MANJUNATH_acl_corner_cases.tgz -C /cifs1/share1/

sometimes, the files gets un-tar properly and max of the time I 'm hit with these errors...

[AIROOT@ib35-12s9 crossProtocolACLTests]$ tar --acl --xattrs --same-owner --same-permissions -p -zvxf MANJUNATH_acl_corner_cases.tgz

NAME

       acl_from_text - Converts the textual representation of an ACL to an internal representation

LIBRARY

       Security Library (libpacl.a)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/acl.h>
       acl_t acl_from_text(	 char *buf_p);

PARAMETERS

       Points to the text external representation of the ACL to be converted.

DESCRIPTION

       NOTE:  This function is based on Draft 13 of the POSIX P1003.6 standard.

       The  acl_from_text()  function  converts the textual representation of the ACL into the working storage internal representation used by the
       ACL subsystem.  Working system storage is allocated as required.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, the acl_from_text function returns an address pointing to the ACL translated. Otherwise, a  value  of  NULL	is
       returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_from_text() function sets errno to the corresponding value:

       The argument buf_p cannot be translated into an ACL.  There is not enough memory available to the process to allocate the working storage.
