The tar command + pipe that you specify would not produce a compressed tar archive since tar -c <names> would not produce anything on stdout for bzip2 to compress. If that is truly what you are doing then things are working as expected. The compressed output from bzip2 would essentially be garbage. I tried using something like: tar cf - * | bzip2 > file.tar.bz2 and that worked as expected. -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.
