Despite popular belief, the default file extracted by GNU tar is not stdin. It is the value of the TAPE environment variable, falling back on a compile-time constant. On my system, the default value is /dev/full, which causes tar to just spin forever due to --ignore-zeros. Always specifying this flag is the safe thing to do. ~$ tar --show-defaults --format=gnu -f/dev/full -b20 --quoting-style=escape --rmt-command=/usr/sbin/grmt See also: ``(tar)defaults'', available via Info viewers, and in HTML form at: https://www.gnu.org/s/tar/manual/html_node/defaults.html (cherry picked from commit 181eea677dd364d2b22dc691647792142b271074) (cherry picked from commit 817b8441c481cec71689a8ccac727d85e3ba549b) (cherry picked from commit 48f3e2d5c5cfba01405a609a5bd4d54071243c13)
