I found out recently that if you do something like: ssh freebsdhostwbsdtar tar -cf - / > /dev/null and then in the middle of the tar, hit ctrl-c, then bsdtar on the FreeBSD host will not exit, instead it's parent will become init, and it will continue on trying to create the archive... It will ignore the EPIPE error, assuming that the write was successful and continue on.. It appears that gtar is is seeing EPIPE and just loops hoping that write will be successful in the future (which it never will be)... Neither are good solutions.... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."Received on Wed Aug 18 2004 - 18:51:12 UTC
