Hello

I downloaded the elasticsearch installer file from the location : wget [https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-9.2.1-linux-x86\_64.tar.gz](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-9.2.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz)

When I try to extract this on my unix machine, I am seeing the below

tar: elasticsearch-9.2.1/jdk/lib/libdt\_socket.so: implausibly old time stamp 1969-12-31 19:00:00

tar: elasticsearch-9.2.1/jdk/lib/libj2pkcs11.so: implausibly old time stamp 1969-12-31 19:00:00

Any ideas ?

Hello

Yes…But there is no solution there either.

The only suggestion given is to ignore the warning.

AFAIK just ignore and run ES.
