I have the following error when using xform, full path, and duplicate files:
[localhost tar-1.29]$ mkdir /tmp/a [localhost tar-1.29]$ date > /tmp/a/b [localhost tar-1.29]$ src/tar --xform=s,^tmp/a,tmp/c, -cf a.tar /tmp/a/b /tmp/a/b src/tar: Removing leading `/' from member names src/tar: Removing leading `/' from hard link targets [localhost tar-1.29]$ src/tar xf a.tar src/tar: tmp/c/b: Cannot hard link to ‘tmp/a/b’: No such file or directory src/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors [localhost tar-1.29]$ src/tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.29 Emacs of the tar file shows the xform pointing the hard link to the old path: -rw-rw-r-- user/user 29 tmp/c/b hrw-rw-r-- user/user 0 tmp/c/b ==> tmp/a/b
