[hobbit] AIX Hobbit Client Update - Tar Error

[Hubbard, Greg L]

Isn't this a "known" issue with Hobbit 4.2 -- specifically for AIX?

Subject: [hobbit] AIX Hobbit Client Update - Tar Error

Hi,

Hobbit newbie here.  I am having issues with the clientupdate on some
AIX systems.  Some of the AIX systems have the following error message
in hobbitclient.log:

/opt/freeware/bin/tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
/opt/freeware/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
2007-10-03 19:02:14 Upgrade failed, tar exited with status 512

The clientupdate is working on other AIX boxes.  This is occurring on
some AIX 5.2 and 5.3.  The tar that is used to update with is good
because another AIX box is successfully updating with it.  I tried
re-creating the tar, but that did not help.

Any insight on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dev.
