I know that this worked in the past (hardened amd64 host, x86 kvm) to unpack a new kernel from a local git tree to a kvm machine, but now it fails : | Code: | $ git archive --prefix linux-4.7.x/ v4.7 | (ssh root@n22kvm; cd /usr/src/; sudo tar -tf- 1>/dev/null)
Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
-bash: line 1: pax_global_header00006660000000000000000000000064127452127060014520gustar00rootroot0000000000000052: command not found
-bash: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors |
It works fine for the local host: | Code: | | $ git archive --prefix linux-4.7.x/ v4.7 | (cd /usr/src/; sudo tar -tf- 1>/dev/null) |
Now I do wonder about the issue. It is related to the ssh b/c within the KVM it works fine too : | Code: | | # git archive --prefix linux-4.7.x/ v4.7 | (cd /usr/src/; tar -tf- 1>/dev/null) |
(nfs mounted the git tree)

| You are not unpacking a tar archive over ssh. You are sending a tar archive to the shell running as root@n22kvm, then locally running some commands after that ssh exits. Unless root@n22kvm uses tar xf - as its shell, that is highly unlikely to do anything good or useful. You ran (ssh root@n22kvm; cd /usr/src/; sudo tar -tf- 1>/dev/null). You probably should have run ssh root@n22kvm sudo tar -C /usr/src/ -x -f -. |

*head smack* this works: | Code: | | $ git archive --prefix linux-4.7.x/ v4.7 | ssh root@n22kvm "cd /usr/src/; tar -tf- 1>/dev/null" |
