文章讲述了在Macbook上使用tar解压Linux创建的tar文件时遇到的警告问题，虽然文件内容不受影响，但可能导致构建过程中断。作者寻求如何让MacOSX的tar与Linux世界更好地配合，以及是否有可能让Linux优雅处理带有问题的tar文件，而不改变其原始压缩方式。

When I tar up files on my Macbook and untar them in Linux, I repeatedly get the following warnings/errors:


 tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino'
 tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink'
 tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev'
 tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino'
 tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink'

 tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev'
 tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino'
 tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink'
 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Fortunately, this does NOT affect the files stored in the archive, which are restored perfectly. However, it does cause problems in a number of scenarios, especially when dealing with build processes where the non-zero failure code returned by 'tar' causes builds and installs to stop unnecessarily.

How can I get OS X to build tar files that play nicely with the rest of the Linux world?

Also, for bonus points, there exists a publicly distributed tar file with these issues. Is there any way to get Linux to handle the tar file gracefully without changing the way it was originally compressed?

brew install gnu-tar

cd /usr/local/bin ; ln -s gtar tar
