Weird TAR Behaviour [CentOS]
Im coding away trying to make my OpenVZ panel, and I've noticed when using vzctrl create it would fail on half of templates.
I've followed it step by step, and it seems to error on some tars and giving off this
./usr/lib/locale/yi_US.utf8/LC_COLLATE
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Anyone know what causes this?
I've run the exact same thing on my laptop and it works, so I don't know why CentOS seems to be having an issue.

It's a tar bug. Upgrade tar.

The latest tar isn't available in CentOS, also I tried pulling a rpm but it requires glibc being updated, which is also out of date in the CentOS repo.
Update: Managed to get to 1.25 tar but still same issue.
I think I'm going to downgrade CentOS 6 to CentOS 5.7, how much fun thats going to be.
If tar is the problem just build it from THE source, ie from FTP.gnu.org...
I'd say your archive is broken. md5sum it and compare with the md5sum of the archive that works on your laptop.
That's why I changed it to Debian
What about simply compiling from source? Easier than changing distributions.
with an outdated glibc
I've found out the entire reason why all these issues I've been having with CentOS were happening.
The time was wrong by 25 years.
I got severe problems wiht CentOS 5, like old dist and such... it was simpler to change to Debian
Debian has way better packages.
Year 2038?
other way.
