Yes.  If I do a 'tar t' under Linux on a tape created by tar for OS/2,
each file appears twice (if the OS/2 tape is of an HPFS partition,
that is - if it's of a FAT partition you're OK since the EAs are all
in ea data.sf or whatever it's called).  I haven't tried restoring
this on a Linux partition to see what happens.  If it's sensible it
will store the EAs first so you get the file rather than its EAs.

Tim.
