This is NOT a cygwin only defect. The defect is upstream and resolved in version 1.26. Refer to bug: http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-tar AT gnu DOT org/msg02999.html For use with amanda backup: http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/FAQ:What_versions_of_GNU_Tar_are_Amanda-compatible%3F This is addressed in version 1.26. Would it be possible to get an updated version sometime soon? Thanks in advance.
