You completely misunderstand and misread what I am writing. I am not 
referring to the node from which you perform the task I am referring to 
the destination of your tarball. If destination is a nfs-share exported 
from a server running linux your usecase can be replicated. Eg this bug 
manifests itself when storing on an nfs exported filesystem from linux. 
However, if the destination of your tarball is on an nfs exported 
filesystem from a server running solaris your test case does not result 
in a bug. Eg the operation succeeds as expected - the tarball is not 
empty.
