# tar Ecvf /
I then copied the data to another Alpha (OSF1 vega.xxxxxx-xx.com V5.1 2650 alpha) ES45, and attempted to untar the smallest tarball (~14G) to a SAN mount, eventually trying all switches where the command looked like this:
# tar EBLoixpvvf /
However, nothing happens. I get this as output:
# tar EBLoixpvvf /san03/data05ALL /san03
blocksize = 256
#
This happens on both machines when I attempt to unarchive the tarball into a directory/sub-directory that is not it's original location. The tarball will extract fine (though it runs out of space) if I do not specify a target folder to unarchive to. As you can see, I have attempted to use every switch imaginable, but so far nothing has worked. Is there a syntax for forcing an archive to restore to subdirectories? What am I missing?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Problems with tar...
absolute path when creating the archive:
( cd / ; tar Ecvf
or
( cd /
(where "
This can greatly simplify restorations into
other locations.
