Description Geaaru 2017-09-21 14:47:33 UTC

Hi,

I'm not sure that component of the issue is correct, but I don't know what is correct componet to set.

I'm trying to create some scripts to align every day docker image of Sabayon OS with latest portage tarball but I see that from September 19I receive this error on add tarball directly with docker and ADD command:

Removing intermediate container a15ae357ba6f
Step 6/14 : ADD ./portage-latest.tar.xz /usr
Error processing tar file(exit status 1): Unhandled tar header type 86

(Source of the scripts are here:  https://github.com/geaaru/sabayon-reload )

If I execute untar from command line I haven't errors.

Is there some new options on tarball creation process that could be generate this error with docker ?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or support.
G.

Yes, we added a volume header, and Docker sucks for not handling it!

I'm going to revert for now, until such time as I write support for volume headers in Docker.

Please try the 20170921 snapshot for now, see if it works for you. I have dropped -V for now.

Hi, I confirm that with last tarball all works fine with docker.

Thank you very very much for support.

I open an issue to docker (https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/issues/4693https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/issues/4693), I will update this ticket on some updates.
