From cca3a6b118fa3f2a0e0a555cddeb36b5cf64afb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Batts Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2015 13:56:19 -0400 Subject: import: don't create sparse tar archives Sparse archives are good for files like utmp/wtmp and journals, but it is still expenseive in having to read the files twice to archive them. Additionally there is a supportability issue as GNU sparse archives are not supported by many archive libraries and tooling. --- src/import/import-common.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/import/import-common.c b/src/import/import-common.c index 950c7b4acd..d8a3bbc249 100644 --- a/src/import/import-common.c +++ b/src/import/import-common.c @@ -210,7 +210,7 @@ int import_fork_tar_c(const char *path, pid_t *ret) { if (r < 0) log_error_errno(r, "Failed to drop capabilities, ignoring: %m"); - execlp("tar", "tar", "--sparse", "-C", path, "-c", ".", NULL); + execlp("tar", "tar", "-C", path, "-c", ".", NULL); log_error_errno(errno, "Failed to execute tar: %m"); _exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
