Do these files extract from the tarfile OK? i.e. if my tarfile
extracts ok, do I have a good disk? Or is the corruption one level
lower, such that the actual files are bad, but the tarfile is good?
I've rebuilt my kernel several times without problems from the /sys
tarfile dist on my disk without errors... Which files are bad?
