Bug Description

Binary package hint: file-roller

I've got an USB disk with NTFS partition.
This NTFS partition is mounted RW with ntfs-3g.

When i tried to extract an .ISO stored on this USB disk on this USB disk, i've encountered an ERROR. The details of the error is empty.

When i tried to extract this same .ISO stored on this USB disk on a EXT3 partition, all is OK.

Thank you for your bug. Does it work if you extract it using isoinfo?

I don't know if this helps, but even .tar.gz does not extract in ntfs-3g partitions (using the extract here nautilus shortcut)
the error is this:

tar: filename: Cannot utime: Not implemented function

Does it work from the command line?

It gives those errors, but it works. I think that file-roller extracts
files in a tmp directory and then copies them to the current folder
(not a good idea in my opinion), then it sees the exit vaule of tar
(which is not 0) and since it finds an error, it thinks that something
goes wrong and does not copy the extracted files in the current
directory.

Again, using the extract feature from the file roller window (not from
nautilus) works, though it visualizes the same errors.

upstream comment

"file-roller now ignores non-fatal errors (exit values smaller than 2) from the
tar command, however I'm not sure if this change resolves the problem, because
I've no ntfs-3g partition available in order to make a test. If the original
reporter can download and compile the current svn trunk version, he could try
and see if the problem is gone now."
