These files were NOT hard links. They were actual files.
Any ideas what is happening?
No.
The reason I asked about the hardlinks was that I've
seen tar failing in this case a couple of RH versions
ago. E.g. if you do a:
$ cd /usr/bin
$ ls -li perl*
327730 -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 13798 Sep 2 2002 perl
327730 -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 13798 Sep 2 2002 perl5.8.0
327714 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 36812 Sep 2 2002 perlbug
327715 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19003 Sep 2 2002 perlcc
327716 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21836 Sep 2 2002 perldoc
327717 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11664 Sep 2 2002 perlivp
you can see that perl and perl5.8.0 are referring to the
same inode number, 327730. Only one of the files were
restored by tar, which gave major problems...
But this doesn't look like it in your case.
