Re: tar hangs on unpacking calcoo_1.3.16.orig.tar


I wonder if some process has created the file in
question and still has it open. Then a call to
create, and a call to unlink, will both fail.

You might not see the file until the process
closes it or dies ...

Just a wondering ...

The procexp tool from sysinternals.com might
reveal an open file handle ...

Best wishes -- Eliot Moss
