File permissions about tar-fs HOT 4 CLOSED

What is your umask?

If you peek at the entries using extract.on('entry', ...) you can see that the mode are parsed correncly. When writing the files to disk their mode are set mode & ~umask which is why the mode changes when writing to disk (the same thing happens when extracting the fixture in your test using bsdtar).

If you want to disable the umask do

tar.extract('.', {umask:0});

from tar-fs.

Hmm shouldn't the file keep the mode when untaring ?

from tar-fs.

Only if its allowed by your umask. Could you try running your test case using the {umask:0} option and see if that works?

Thanks for your help, works perfect :)
