The tar file format does nt support timestamps before 1970. From
http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Gnu/tar-1.13/html_chapter/tar_8.html
"POSIX tar format can represent time stamps in the range 1970-01-01 00:00:00 through 2242-03-16 12:56:31 UTC." ...
"Portable archives should also avoid time stamps before 1970. These time stamps are a common POSIX extension but their time_t representations are negative. Many traditional tar implementations generate a two's complement representation for negative time stamps that assumes a signed 32-bit time_t; hence they generate archives that are not portable to hosts with differing time_t representations."
Out of curiosity: where did you get a file that was last modified in 1956? |
