When compressing files with specific filenames it appears that BSD
tar is creating invalid archives which when handed to gnutar to
expand it errors with the following:
[log]
tar -xvzf test.tar.gz
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink'
cantiquedeno\353l1_loop.wav
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[/log]
This archive contains just a single file with no special
attributes yet BSD seems to be doing something strange due
to the filename only.
The following is the out of the filename using ls and find:
user@m1:music> ls -l cantiquede*
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 1766066 Feb 8 20:54 cantiquedeno?l1_loop.wav
user@m1:music> find . -name can\*
./cantiquedenoël1_loop.wav
I've tested creating the tar with gtar and all is well when
expanded so I can only conclude at this point that BSD is
broken in some way by this strange filename.
tar --version
bsdtar 1.01.020, libarchive 1.02.006
