I am getting an error Unknown file type 'A', extracted as normal file while un-taring a set of files which has acl permissions set.I had created the tar file in Solaris with tar -cpfv Tarfilename.tar directory. If I un-tar with tar xvpf Tarfilename.tar, it works great in Solaris. I had copied the tar file to Linux and tried to untar using tar xvpf, it throws the warning Unknown file type 'A', extracted as normal file and created files without ACL permissions.tar --version in Linux: tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1
