Description of problem: When creating an archive using the --listed-incremental option to tar, tar will segfault (return code 139). This only happens when archiving the root partition (/) and only on the second and subsequent invocations. (The first invocation creates the list file, the second should read the list file and archive only the delta changes). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tar-1.23-6.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. tar --create --one-file-system --listed-incremental=root.list --file=root.full.tar / 2. tar --create --one-file-system --listed-incremental=root.list --file=root.delta.tar / 3. echo $? Actual results: segfault errcode 139 Expected results: delta archive into root.delta.tar Additional info: There is a patch for this floating around upstream.

My test case is a little bit different and segfault on last fedora 14. It is working fine on F11 and centos5. I tried tar-1.26 and it works too, no segfault. # 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 # 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
