I get the same error using cp - this is very very bad..... an example of the resulting error is this:
this is the ls -lR output from the root of the drive: ./AcerLaptop/G300stuff/full backup of OS/App2SD/AcerLaptop/G300stuff/full backup of OS/App2SD/AcerLaptop/G300stuff/full backup of OS/App2SD/AcerLaptop/G300stuff/full backup of OS/App2SD/AcerLaptop/G300stuff/full backup of OS/App2SD/AcerLaptop/G300stuff/full backup of OS/App2SD/AcerLaptop/G300stuff/full backup of OS/App2SD/AcerLaptop/G300stuff/full backup of OS/App2SD/AcerLaptop/G300stuff/full backup of OS/App2SD/AcerLaptop/G300stuff/full backup of OS/App2SD/AcerLaptop/G300stuff/full backup of OS/App2SD/AcerLaptop/2gbSD/ebay/Pinnacle/Program Files (x86)/....... As you can see it is totally screwed up. This is about as serious a bug as it gets, as read works, but write is as good as useless. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290563 Title: tar backup and restore produces corrupt data To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfsprogs/+bug/1290563/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
