Hey there,
Are you trying to extract the archive? If so, you need to change the command to
Code:
tar -xvf '/mnt/lfs/sources/util-linux-2.38.1.tar.xz'
to extract it. You could also run it without the "-" like this:
Code:
tar xvf '/mnt/lfs/sources/util-linux-2.38.1.tar.xz'
& it will work just as well. What's happening here is as follows: The
x option tells tar to extract the archive. The
v option tells tar to print the filename currently being extracted (or being put into a tar archive) to the console. The
f option specifies the filename that tar needs to work with, & is used when both extracting & creating tar archives. The
z option shouldn't be necessary here being I think it only applies when creating a tar archive (the
z option runs the archive through the gzip compressor). Hopefully this clears things up for you.
