For what it's worth, I recently had the similar issues with Cygwin tar on text-mounted volumes in the last year. We had users moving between Cygwin tar and Redhat tar and there were issues extracting the tar files. I instructed them to create a binary mount for tar-related purposes and that addressed the issue. We need to use text-mounts, in general, for other reasons. It would be great if tar could be adjusted to operate properly in these scenarios. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
