It was a problem with ramfs. You wrote the following about a year ago: "There is a bug in FreeMiNT's ramfs: the size of symlinks is always 0, while it should be the length of the target file path. This is why tar fails to create archives from the ramdisk. I have just provided a patch to the MiNT Mailing List which fixes that."
Indeed, I forgot that :-[ http://sparemint.org/mailinglist/Mailing-Lists/MiNT-List.201112/4EE15413.50802@freesbee.fr.text I see that my patch has been applied.So every know bug related to tar has either been fixed or reported in Mantis.
