To me the meaning of the compatibility level argument when reading is unclear. It seems to only affect how the link indicator is deserialized:
ocaml-tar/lib/tar.ml

A few lines above that function a comment says V7 strictly speaking only supports Normal and Hard only.
V7
Normal

K
L
LongName
LongLink
