Description Richard W.M. Jones 2013-02-06 12:36:27 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #908255 +++

Description of problem:

[root@hp-z220-01 images]# virt-tar -x rhel6.32bit /boot/gurb grub.tar
                                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^ 
grub.tar: error in chunked encoding at /usr/bin/virt-tar line 272.


Simple reproducer from within the libguestfs source tree:

$ ./run ./tools/virt-tar -x ./tests/guests/fedora.img /foo /dev/null
/dev/null: error in chunked encoding at /home/rjones/d/libguestfs/tools/virt-tar line 272.

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-02-06 14:57:32 UTC

The new error is:

tar_out: stat: /foo: No such file or directory at /home/rjones/d/libguestfs/tools/virt-tar line 272.

or if you point to something which exists but is not a directory:

tar_out: /etc/fstab: not a directory at /home/rjones/d/libguestfs/tools/virt-tar line 272.

I also fixed the base64-out command in a similar manner.
