I am creating TAR from list of flies.
tar -cvf abc_xyz.tar -T /opt/oracle/file_list.lst
and I am getting the follwing error :
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
how to fix this error ?
Thanks in advance.
It's not an error, it's a harmless warning.
It means that, internally, the file and path will be stored as opt/oracle/file_list.lst
but, after creating TAR using syntax above , during the exatrct :
e.g.
/opt/tmp/perl5.16.3/lib/site_perl/5.16.3/x86_64-linux/DBD/Oracle.pm
and after done with extract :
ls -la /opt/tmp/perl5.16.3/lib/site_perl/5.16.3/x86_64-linux/DBD/Oracle.pm
ls: cannot access /opt/tmp/perl5.16.3/lib/site_perl/5.16.3/x86_64-linux/DBD/Oracle.pm: No such file or directory
it's showing in TAR and showed that it extracted , but, it's not there ....
Thanks

What folder were you in? That's where it extracted, currentfolder/opt/oracle/file_list
If you want it to extract in a different folder, tell it to extract in a different folder, by tar -C / -zxf filename
