Simply right-click the item you want to compress, mouseover compress, and choose tar. gz. You can also right-click a tar. gz file, mouseover extract, and select an option to unpack the archive.
The primary function of the Unix tar command is to create backups. It is used to create a 'tape archive' of a directory tree, that could be backed up and restored from a tape-based storage device. The term 'tar' also refers to the file format of the resulting archive file.
I am trying to untar UNIX-based operating system from a .tar.gz file. In order to do so I use the following command:
tar -xvf rootfs.tar.gz -o
The -o flag is to not to preserve the ownership of the files (it gave some problems). The problem is that when a symbolic link is untared the following message shows up
Cannot create symlink to `toto': Operation not permitted
Moreover, mknod also gives problems
dev/tty0: Cannot mknod: Operation not permitted
I am in a FAT system. Does anyone know how to untar that file?
Thanks in advance
