Hi,
Hobbit newbie here. I am having issues with the clientupdate on some AIX systems. Some of the AIX systems have the following error message in hobbitclient.log:
/opt/freeware/bin/tar: Unexpected EOF in archive /opt/freeware/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now 2007-10-03 19:02:14 Upgrade failed, tar exited with status 512
The clientupdate is working on other AIX boxes. This is occurring on some AIX 5.2 and 5.3. The tar that is used to update with is good because another AIX box is successfully updating with it. I tried re-creating the tar, but that did not help.
Any insight on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dev.

Any insight on this will be greatly appreciated. I see you use the gnu tar to unpack the tar file. Maybe the other boxes are using the AIX tar ? I remember vagely that there was a problem with tar+hobbit+aix ...

Isn't this a "known" issue with Hobbit 4.2 -- specifically for AIX?
