Tar Xvf Not Found In Archive
this question edited Jan 9 '15 at 10:20 asked Jun 5 '13 at 6:43 zhiwenf 1,4021920 it is caused by the fact that argument syntax of tar accept just one single tar in the command line and the rest is interpreted as something else. You could use xargs also (ls *.gz |xargs -n1 tar -xzf or alike). –ShinTakezou Jun 5 '13 at 6:47 tar do not accept glob pattern as argument (i.e. it won't interpret it) afaik –ShinTakezou Jun 5 '13 at 6:49 @ShinTakezou: but the shell will expand the *.gz notation; tar won't (usually) see the *.gz. Sometimes, you want to extract files with the * in the name. For example: tar -xf abc.tar.gz 'src/prog/*name.*' would extract files such as src/prog/bigname.c, src/prog/smallname.h; the single quotes prevent the shell from expanding the * and tar does indeed expand it. –Jonathan Leffler Jun 5 '13 at 7:01 @JonathanLeffler I know that ofcourse.In fact,I wrote tar accepts just one single tar in the command line,i.e. I imagined the OP thought tar -xzf *.gz would work as other cmds accepting more file to work on,but tar interprets the rest as something else,i.e. tar

The script appears to run succesfully, in that a useable .tar.gz file is created after the script runs. However, I get this annoying message after the script finishes: tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors I do not see any error messages whilst the script not found in is working, and like I said, the produced file can be uncompressed with no warnings/errors. Since I am using this as part of my backup, I want to make sure that I am not ignoring something serious. What are the possible reasons that this error/warning message is being produced - and can I safely ignore it?. If I cant ignore it, what are the steps to diagnose and resolve the error?

One if the most common is not having read permission on one of the files. This could be a big problem since you are using this for backup. If you are using the -v flag, try leaving it off. This should reduce the output and let you see what is going on. share|improve this answer answered Jul 29 '10 at 11:22 KeithB 6,33811612 2 +1 for the suggestion (I was using the 'verbose' option previously). I found that there was a permission issue on at least one of the files. At le
