[hampaiah]

HI

When I am trying to untar a file I got below error please help me to resolve this issue

" 1500_CP/omg/webapps/maia/src/com/logica/omg/oam/services/actions/applicationprofiles/SubmitAppProfil, 4554 bytes, 9 tape blocks

x ././@LongLink, 136 bytes, 1 tape blocks

directory checksum error "

thanks

probably the tar file is not copied all bytes. do a "tar tvf " to see the list of files in the tar.

You may need GNU "tar" to deal with this. As
usual, it might help if you provided a little
information, like how the "tar" archive was
made, and what you're using to try to expand
the archive.

Hi,

try via
tar xif file.tar

This option ignores directory checksum errors, which maybe okay in your case - just watch if the files you expect really get unpacked (create a content listing first via 'tar tf').
