Data loss in tar.xz archives over GVFS and SFTP
Version 3.28.0 Architecture: x86_64 OS: Ubuntu 18.04
Steps to reproduce:
- Use Nautilus to connect over SFTP to a server.
- Create a folder on the server.
- Create files in that folder called
file1
andfile2
. - Edit the files and give them different content.
- On the local computer in Nautilus, right-click the folder and choose "Create Archive".
- Select
tar.xz
and click "Create". - Copy the resulting file to the local computer.
- Right-click the local file and extract it.
-
file2
is restored as a symlink tofile1
, the content offile2
is lost.
With multiple files all but one file is lost.
This fault does not occur when choosing "zip" or "7z", there is no "gz" option.
