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.
