tar2ext

Extract tar archive contents to ext filesystem image or device.

Usage

tar2ext image.ext < archive.tar

This only works for uncompressed tar archives. To use this with compressed tar archives anyway, just pipe it through the correct uncompressor first. For example, if you have a .tar.gz archive, you can simply use gzip -d < archive.tar.gz | tar2ext image.ext, and so on.

Current limitations

  • ACLs aren't supported yet.
  • Replacing a file with one of a different type isn't supportet yet.
  • Changing a symbolic link isn't supportet yet
  • This is still alpha software, so there may still be some bugs left.
