Why do I get an error from pax saying: linkname greater than 100 characters? I have PHCO_20388 installed.

This is confusing because of the ambiguous text provided in the patch. Under symptoms, it says:

1. Pax does not handle soft/hard links properly in ustar format if the file/link names have a length >= 100 characters.

The patch corrected a problem in handling link names that were >= 100 characters. These are still limited to less than 100 characters. If you have a link name that is longer, you will see the error message. Before the patch, this condition was not detected and pax would become confused. Now it is correctly flagged as an error.

Pliz update your Ignite version & apply the required pax patch.
