FYI, the mailinglist strips attachments that's why it was gone.
    
   I'm guessing the failed tar command you ran manually extracted enough to
   trigger the duplicate bootstrap check before it errored out. Assuming
   you've never bootstrapped before, you can add the
   --yes-this-is-unsupported-but-i-know-what-i-am-doing command option to the
   boostrap call, eg.
    
    
   QSH CMD('touch -C 819 /tmp/bootstrap.log; /QOpenSys/usr/bin/ksh
   /tmp/bootstrap.sh --yes-this-is-unsupported-but-i-know-what-i-am-doing >
   /tmp/bootstrap.log 2>&1')

     This system has already been bootstrapped!
     Bootstrapping is a one-time process and should never need to be done
     again.
     Doing so would cause the installation status of everything installed via
     yum
     to become unknown and any software in the bootstrap will overwrite any
     newer
     versions that may have been installed.
     If you want to continue anyway, you can re-run bootstrap.sh with the
     flag
     --yes-this-is-unsupported-but-i-know-what-i-am-doing
     Bootstrap succeeded

     ________________________________
        You cannot use the PASE version of tar to extract the bootstrap as it
        requires GNU tar to contain paths that exceed the maximum allowed by
     PASE
        tar. The error you encountered indicated that you didn't have
     authority to
        run it. I don't think the script marks it executable after it's
     extracted
        from the script, so you would need *ALLOBJ to run it. Arguably that's
     a
        bug since binaries should be marked executable, but you need *ALLOBJ
        anyway.
        Do you have *ALLOBJ authority?

          We are on IBM i 7.2 TR9 and following the link above, transferred
     the
          bootstrap.sh and bootstrap.tar.Z files to /tmp directory in binary.
          QSH CMD('touch -C 819 /tmp/bootstrap.log; /QOpenSys/usr/bin/ksh
          /tmp/bootstrap.sh > /tmp/bootstrap.log 2>&1')
          Giving a try to the command above, i have seen the following error
          message in the /tmp/bootstrap.log file
          /tmp/bootstrap.sh: /tmp/gtar: cannot execute
