| Summary | 0007696: tar restores directories with incorrect ACLs | ||||
| Description | When I use the --acls option to create and restore a tar archive including ACLs, directories are restored with incorrect ACLs. This is unacceptable behavior for a program that is heavily relied upon for backup management. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Create an empty directory and view its ACL list: [stern@server ~]$ mkdir d [stern@server ~]$ getfacl d # file: d # owner: stern # group: stern user::rwx group::rwx other::r-x Then create a tar archive containing that directory, remove the directory, and restore it from the archive: [stern@server ~]$ tar -cf a.tar --acls d [stern@server ~]$ rmdir d [stern@server ~]$ tar -xf a.tar --acls Finally, check the ACL list of the restored directory: [stern@server ~]$ getfacl d # file: d # owner: stern # group: stern user::rwx group::rwx other::r-x default:user::rwx default:group::rwx default:other::r-x The default ACL values have incorrectly been filled in, using the values of the directory's access permissions. The output should have been the same as for the getfacl command above. | ||||
| Additional Information | On a separate system running Fedora-20 this does not happen. In fact, when I create a tar archive under CentOS and restore it under Fedora, the ACL list is correct. And when I create a tar archive under Fedora and restore it under CentOS, the ACL list is wrong. | ||||
