Prevent showing time stamp message when running “tar xzf”

Question

When running tar xzf, how to prevent this message (Prevent showing time stamp message):

tar: node: time stamp 2011-06-07 02:02:30 is 8309 s in the future
tar: user/Node: time stamp 2011-06-07 01:56:05 is 7924 s in the future

Answer 1

tar has an option to suppress this message [1]:

-m, --touch
don't extract file modified time

However, you should probably also check that you don't have an issue with your system clock.
