Do you know why those features never got adopted into GNU tar?
- ahartmetz 5y agoI don't. But I think it was something about splitting an archive over multiple tapes and / or modifying such archives.
- st_goliath 5y agoPerhaps not on the surface. GNU tar, for instance, to this day uses the pax header fields introduced by star for storing extended attributes.
