It works. Yep, I know the problem exists on Fedora 14, it was not serious enough for me to do an update for tar there. I'll check if there are more such "smaller" things and maybe do an update, f15 should be ok anyway, as there is already upstream version with fix. Ignore my previous comment, I realized that I fixed the problem in F14 already - see https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/tar-1.23-7.fc14 . So just make sure you have fully updated f14 and everything should be ok ... If not, feel free to report f14 bugzilla, this one is tracking RHEL-6 status.

My test case (see below) is not fixed on my up2date F14 :-(. I have no RHEL-6 for testing. could you make a try ? I will open a bug for F14. thanks for your time. Regards [root@box172 tmp]# rpm -qi rpm: no arguments given for query [root@box172 tmp]# rpm -qi tar Name : tar Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 1.23 Vendor: Fedora Project Release : 7.fc14 Build Date: Mon 15 Nov 2010 <snip> [root@box172 tmp]# rm -f /tmp/backup-inc.tgz /tmp/snapshot.snar ; find /bin -not -type s -print | tar cvTf - /tmp/backup-inc.tgz --no-recursion -z --listed-incremental=/tmp/snapshot.snar tar: /bin: Directory is new Segmentation fault Yep, your test fails on RHEL-6, so the f-14 fix has to be extended, thanks for another test, I'll check the f14 binary and make tar update after fix. This one commit fixes your part of crash - but is completely separate from the previous one - http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=tar.git;a=commit;h=40dea1ae7fc892a54eae2efd30ddd8559c697525 This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
