Hello all,
 
     Has anyone run into this, or have any suggestions as to a cause/action:
 
     I've got a directory in which many or all of the files need to be updated
periodically.  The new files arrive in a "tar" file.  When I execute
"tar -xfo newfiles.tar" I get the following error message on every file
that pre-exists:
 
           tar: write error on file "index.html": System call error
 
     The error message is not specific enough.  Is it an end of file problem?
Why doesn't tar purge the file first?  I've verified that it's not a
permission problem.
 
     Any ideas?
 
                                                     Thanks
