Hi,

I was using amrecover to restore a directory on one of our system 
(bsoa/JONAS_4_4_3/jiap_base).
All went well and (I think) that we got all our data back.

However, after what I believe to be the last file, we had strange errors (see 
below) that are not even part of the directory that was extracted. Any idea 
please what cause this?

Hi,
What is your tar-version?
