Can't say for sure, but I get the impression it's mainly application directories that get messed up (but that could be because I've hardly stored anything else in there). There has never been more than one level of directories in the tars I used, by the way. I.e. no subdirectories, just one or more directories on the top level in the tar. Anyway, I've decided to stop using tars altogether, as there is no obvious explanation for a very real problem. As far as I'm concerned, SparkFS and tars are an unreliable combination.
