tar and gtar Warnings

    You might see the File changed as we read it warning in the following situations:

  • When you use the Oracle Solaris SMB client to mount an SMB share and use the gtar utility to write the share to a tape

  • When you use the Oracle Solaris SMB client to mount an SMB share and use the tar utility to check file attributes after setting them

Other than these warnings, the tar and gtar operations succeed as expected.

You can ignore these warnings.


Note -  smbfs ignores calls to set any file or directory attributes because they have no direct representation in SMB. Also, smbfs does not support the UNIX extensions that would permit the storing of attributes with some servers.
