Description Steve-o 2004-09-02 11:59:01 UTC

I have separate partitions for /usr and /.  The Gentoo 2004.2 stage3 tar ball will generate errors on extraction as performed with the command line from the handbook with this configuration.

I have been following the Gentoo guide on install LVM.







Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Create a root and /usr partition.
2.  Mount partitions of /mnt/gentoo and /mnt/gentoo/usr.
3.  Download and extract stage 3 tar ball.

Actual Results:  
livecd gentoo # tar -xjpf stage?-*.tar.bz2
tar: ./usr/share/terminfo/s/sun1: Cannot hard link to `./etc/terminfo/s/sun': No
such file or directory
tar: ./usr/share/terminfo/s/sun2: Cannot hard link to `./etc/terminfo/s/sun': No
such file or directory
tar: ./usr/share/terminfo/v/vt200: Cannot hard link to `./etc/terminfo/v/vt220':
No such file or directory
tar: ./usr/share/terminfo/v/vt100-am: Cannot hard link to
`./etc/terminfo/v/vt100': No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors


Expected Results:  
The tar should include symbolic links or duplicates of the files in question.
