I'll just try this: /usr/bin/cp /usr/sbin/static/tar /tmp /usr/bin/dd if=file.tar | /usr/bin/chroot /tmp ./tar xf - And see what happens. It's a short-term situation, so this should be sufficient. On Sun, Aug 21, 2011 at 1:13 PM, John Lange <john@johnlange.ca> wrote:
You can always download and compile GNU tar on Solaris if you need it. I had to do that once some years back because of some Solaris bug that prevented me from untaring.
It only takes a few minutes and saves a lot of time in the long run trying to figure out the Solaris tar equivalents of the GNU tar commands you're used to.
