I'd call that success.

Is there a regression test suite for tar?

not one as part of illumos-gate but our current best practice is to add tests to the relevant suite when possible.

nomad: That's great news!

I'll get a change up for review, but you should be able to use that binary for now, I think, to get out of the hole if needed

I'll test it on Monday when I can try a 700GB filesystem.

thanks for the quick turnaround.

You're welcome!
