Hi,

I am getting the error while generating tar using the command

tar cvf - -C /d01 Oracle | gzip -1 > ./d01_oracle_db.tar.gz

tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
Also the is file in /backup by name –C.

Please suggest, what is the wrong with the command

Thanks
Haranath

Hi there, thanks for the interesting question. Could you clarify exactly what you are trying to do? I infer from the command that you want to tar gzip Oracle directory (or file?) that is located in /d01 directory? I have tried the command you have supplied and it worked!

Code: Select all

kamil@m1730:/tmp/tar$ tar cvf - -C /d01 Oracle | gzip -1 > ./d01_oracle_db.tar.gz
Oracle/
Oracle/test


Another way of achieving the same thing is

Code: Select all

cd /d01; kamil@m1730:/tmp/tar/d01$ tar czvf /some_path/d01_oracle_db.tar.gz Oracle
Oracle/
Oracle/test


Can you also be a bit more specific as to what version of tar and OS u are using?

Code: Select all

kamil@m1730:/tmp/tar$ tar --version

Doesn't seem to have any noticable error/effects though. But would still like to know what causes this.
