I don't know, this just doesn't look right to me. I downloaded pkgsrc/mk
as a tarball from ftp.netbsd.org, and I noticed some strange tar behavior.

/export is a RAID 0 filesystem, / is a normal filesystem. Both are using
softdeps and the kernel is relatively new (1.5S).

blackhole:~# time tar -xpf /export/pkgsrc/mk.tar

real    0m0.253s
user    0m0.001s
sys     0m0.039s
blackhole:~# cd /export
blackhole:/export# time tar -xpf /export/pkgsrc/mk.tar

real    3m39.159s
user    0m0.020s
sys     0m6.811s
blackhole:/export# uname -a
NetBSD blackhole.invisible.ca 1.5S NetBSD 1.5S (BLACKHOLE) #0: Sun Mar  4
01:43:31 AST 2001
jmcneill@blackhole.invisible.ca:/usr/home/jmcneill/syssrc/sys/arch/i386/compile/BLACKHOLE
i386

Has this been fixed in the last few days?

Thanks,
