The archive extracted but with errors Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags' using tar I will try bsdtar.

Options sequence matters in tar command while tar -xvfz ArchLinuxARM-rpi-latest.tar.gz' didn't extract this did tar -zxvf ArchLinuxARM-rpi-latest.tar.gz` difference is how the options are sequenced. This information should be included in man pages or atleast in tutorials for tar This I learnt once again after facing the same extraction problems months ago, archlinuxarm archive on ubuntu machine. Then had to install bsdtar as archlinux tutorial suggested to get the job done.

thanks @steeldriver for earlier comment, I can't upvote it, not enough reputation, I didn't realise earlier I extracted it in my home directory, tar gave out some flags and ended with errors, but created all the folders, and since archive I am extracting is archlinuxARM for raspberry pi, it is a complete distro, it became evident only when I closed terminal and ran bash again with errors like bash: /home/user/bin/dircolors: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error bash: /home/user/bin/ls: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error turns out PATH made it run ARM code. So thanks.

| Feb 17, 2019 at 17:13 | comment | added | Rinzwind | a link to a question from 2013?! Make a new one.By the way: we do NOT support arch | |
| Feb 17, 2019 at 17:12 | comment | added | dessert | The questions from the title as well as the first paragraph belongs here, but as for the rest I suggest you ask a new question for it. | |

The tar file is present in the directory where I am trying to extract it, I used ls to determine if it is there. But now the question whose title you are answering has been taken off, I can't access it.
