- I usually use the tar command with sentence like 'tar cvf foo.tar bin/'.
- This way I got a nice foo.tar backup of the bin directory. But when I
- compress it by compress or gzip and then do a
-
- gunzip -c foo.tar.z|tar xvf -
-
- I always got a 'Broken Pipe' message when it's done. I notice that most
- of the tar file from tsx11 have no such problem. Am I doing wrong
- somewhere in my tar command?
