OK, I think the problem is that tar (included in CRUX 2.4) ignores the --numeric-owner option, --same-owner works though... If I compile the tar package without the tar-rootp.patch, --numeric-owner works, files get their correct ownership, not root.root. Lasse On Fri, 18 Jan 2008, Lars Davidsson wrote:

Hi all,

I'm new to this list and have been using CRUX since version 1.0 on servers in my personal domain solan.se.

Thanks to everyone that have been involved in the release of CRUX 2.4.

I don't know if I have found an issue here with CRUX 2.4, ... I have problem with ownership when extracting (tar) files on a box running CRUX 2.4. Restored files will always get ownership root.root. I have tried the -p flag, but nothing seems to help, and yes, users/groups are there in /etc/passwd and /etc/group.

On my CRUX 1.0 (yes :) I still have one up and running) and CRUX 2.1 boxes I don't have problem with tar, ownership and extracting files.

If I compile the CRUX 2.4 tar package without the tar-rootp.patch, things works fine, my restored files will have correct ownership.

Comments?

I have tried to find some info about it.

Thanks, Lasse
