tar, cannot change mode to XXXX
 

hi all,

i've a little and probably stupid question:

why, when i decompress qt-3.1.1.tar with tar -xf ... as root i get continuosly the following error message:

cannot change mode to XXXX: operation not permitted

Couse of this i can't coplete the decompression. Tar exit for delay caused from these messages.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks B7

Where about in the file-system are you
when doing that, what directory are you
in? Try -v as well to see what it's actually
doing...

When I installed qt I just did
with no problems ...

Tinkster,

grazie :)

I was using tar inside a shared folder, an HD that i choose to see under linux.

Just copying my tar file inside the linux partition everything work fine.

Infinite Thanks,

B7

you'd normally get that error decompressing to a windows drive are you doing this on a natvie filesystem?
