Isn't this down in the filesystem ie below tar's radar ? Nowadays (i.e. since the switchover to a libarchive-based tar) tar can handle many different archive formats. This includes reading ISO-images directly. So this is not below tar's radar when operating directly on an ISO-image. If said image had been mounted as a filesystem and tar was then used to collect files from that filesystem, it should have been unnoticed by tar, but that is not the case discussed. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013_at_student.uu.seReceived on Sat Jul 18 2009 - 09:35:29 UTC
