Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tar
I have a backup script which is doing incremental backups on NFS share.
I am using an -g (--listed-incremental) option for that purpose. If the
snapshot file does not exists (which means tar is doing full backups)
everything works flawlessly. The problem occur whenever incremental
backup has to be taken. Tar crashes immediately with Segmentation Fault
error. I have tried to isolate NFS issues and copied the snapshot file
to local storage and instructed tar to put the archive to local drive as
well. The result was exactly the same. When i tried with copying just
small amount of data problem did not occur. I have recently migrated
from Gentoo where tar worked perfectly with this setup.
