I am using cygwin version 1.5.25-15 I tar'ed a bunch files on a FreeBSD system a while back and did not notice that all mode bits were stripped EG: ---------- 1 james 513 4071 Apr 13 05:21 .bash_history ---------- 1 james 513 708 Apr 9 07:22 .bash_profile ---------- 1 james 513 625 May 19 2006 .bashrc
I've been trying all day to extract this tar archive on a Windows 7, 64 bit system. EG: google, screwing around with security permissions etc. Here is the tar error I receive when attempting to extract files fro this archive to c:\strorage1. I am attempting this under an account with Administrator permission. This account is correctly listed in the password/group files. I've tried tweaking the effective GID- no luck. tar: JumpDrive/Personal/Technical/Scripts/FreeBSD/IP_Check/FreeBSD/email_notice.txt: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: JumpDrive/Personal/Technical/Scripts/FreeBSD/IP_Check/FreeBSD/IP: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: JumpDrive/Personal/Technical/Scripts/FreeBSD/IP_Check/FreeBSD/ip_history.log: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: JumpDrive/Personal/Technical/Scripts/FreeBSD/IP_Check/FreeBSD/machine_shutdown.sh: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: JumpDrive/Personal/Technical/Scripts/FreeBSD/IP_Check/FreeBSD/machine_started.sh: Cannot open: No such file or directory When I have access to a UNIX system (or knoppix) I'll repackage the tar. But there should be a way to do this under Windows 7 with Cygwin 1.5.25-15? Or do I have to grab 1.7 and mess around with mounting things with /etc/fstabb?
