9815.0. "pax and "no such file or directory"" by ATZIS1::WIMMER_E (Erich Wimmer - inventory no. 3867) Wed May 14 1997 09:10
Under some circumstances pax generetes error message 
"No such file or directory":
Digital Unix 4.0a, all patches installed.
awk '{print $10}' /mnt/ALPHA/BASE/instctrl/OSFMANWOP410.inv >/tmp/file1
mkdir /usr/langername1/langername2/langername3/langername4
cat /tmp/file1|pax -r -w -d -p e \
	/usr/langername1/langername2/langername3/langername4
generates errormessages e.g.:
pax:
/usr/langername1/langername2/langername3/langername4/usr/share/man/man3/VisualOf
CCC.3X11.gz : No such file or directory
But, if once uses shorter path-names, f.e.:
cat /tmp/file1|pax -r -w -d -p e /usr/langername1
pax works without errors.
Also if you try
cat /tmp/file1|grep VisualOfCCC.3X11.gz|pax -r .........(long names)
pax works.
I have no idea about the reason of the error, originally occured with "setld"
during extracting the OSFMANWOP410 subset from 4.0b Unix-CD. 
(setld -D /usr/langername..... -x /mnt/ALPHA/BASE OSFMANWOP410).
Any ideas?
Erich
