Unable to run the ‘PAX” command in Windows 7, SUA with a ‘–q’ option
Recently we got an case where the customer was looking for assistance to run PAX command in Windows 7 SUA. Unlike SFU 3.5, the PAX command in windows 7, SUA does not have "-q" option to suppress error message. Hence it was failing.
From the man pages we found that using the new parameter "-Q"; the same functionality can be achieved. Though the same may not have been documented on the SUA help files.
Running the man page give the below information:
-Q Quiet warnings about files being archived without additional ACL
Quiet messages that will not affect the success of the installation. This is usually used to quiet (supress) messages that may appear to the average user to be indicating a problem when there really is no problem. This does not conflict with the -v option.
