Hi,

on one fedora server, I do

tar -cvf example.tar folder

if i do a tar -tf exmaple.tar, all the files that were in the folder
are still in it. The file is 42 mb.

on another server, ubuntu, i do a wget ...example.tar

it downloads the tar file. it has exactly the same size as the
original, but when i do a tar -tf (or really unpack it) there's only
the first 5 files there, in stead of the few hundred that should be in
it.

I've been googling, but can't find anything...

Anyone an idea where i should look?

Thanks,
