Hi guys.
I have a small system which boots from CF, mounts rootfs in memory, formats the CF and then it is suppose to decompress a file to the CF with tar zxf file.tgz but I get following errors:
tar: could not exec: No such file or directory
tar: End of archive volume 1 reached
tar: Sorry, unable to determine archive format.
The file is there, it has correct size. It can be decompressed just fine on my HD.
I even run /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd and chown -R root:wheel /mnt/ (my mount point) to ensure the file has correct owner.
There is avaliable space on the disk, it does not have any errors (checked with fsck after newfs).
I am basically stucked.
Any idea what can be causing this strange behaviour of tar ?
Cheers,
