However: 64-@@ tar cJf empty.tar.xz --files-from=/dev/null (or: tar cJfT empty.tar.bz2 /dev/null) one will get files of size 108 bytes (of real tar files). The latter ones will properly untar, but not the files of size 32. (yes, in both cases, no files will be produced) Regards, Henri -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
