Now, now -- be nice.  You're living on "the edge" in terms of kernel
versions (and presumably other software), and that will invariably
lead to hardship.

I think that installing a newer tar and setting CHECK_DEVICE to "no"
will clear this up.  After all, we introduced this feature just for
you :)

I realize that Fedora doesn't have a new enough tar yet -- you could
build your own, or modify the RPM .spec to build the newest version
and rebuild.
