No. The reason I asked about the hardlinks was that I've seen tar failing in this case a couple of RH versions ago. E.g. if you do a: $ cd /usr/bin $ ls -li perl* 327730 -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 13798 Sep 2 2002 perl 327730 -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 13798 Sep 2 2002 perl5.8.0 327714 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 36812 Sep 2 2002 perlbug 327715 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19003 Sep 2 2002 perlcc 327716 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21836 Sep 2 2002 perldoc 327717 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11664 Sep 2 2002 perlivp you can see that perl and perl5.8.0 are referring to the same inode number, 327730. Only one of the files were restored by tar, which gave major problems... But this doesn't look like it in your case.
