GNU tar was based on an early draft of the POSIX 1003.1 ustar standard. GNU extensions to tar, such as the support for file names longer than 100 characters, use portions of the tar header record which were specified in that POSIX draft as unused. Subsequent changes in POSIX have allocated the same parts of the header record for other purposes. As a result, *GNU tar is incompatible with the current POSIX spec, and with tar programs that follow it*.

> Prefixes of long paths (> 100 chars) are ignored when unpacking archives with tar on linux.
> Packing "moreThan100/long/path/to/file.class" with TarGzExporter, is unpacked by linux tar as "long/path/to/file.class". 
> Where "long/path/to/file.class" is just bellow 100 chars.
