Последствия ошибок (Consequences of errors)

If pax cannot create a file or a link when reading an archive or
       cannot find a file when writing an archive, or cannot preserve
       the user ID, group ID, or file mode when the -p option is
       specified, a diagnostic message shall be written to standard
       error and a non-zero exit status shall be returned, but
       processing shall continue. In the case where pax cannot create a
       link to a file, pax shall not, by default, create a second copy
       of the file.

       If the extraction of a file from an archive is prematurely
       terminated by a signal or error, pax may have only partially
       extracted the file or (if the -n option was not specified) may
       have extracted a file of the same name as that specified by the
       user, but which is not the file the user wanted.  Additionally,
       the file modes of extracted directories may have additional bits
       from the S_IRWXU mask set as well as incorrect modification and
       access times.
