Hi, all. I've run into a problem running 'tar cvvWf' if archive members are larger than 2GB. Here's an example of the error generated (I've separated the output lines to increase readability in the face of wordwrap):
Verify -rwxr--r-- 12218/dialout 477504 2006-04-26 15:11 vol/backup3/todo/mike_bu_mar_2007/stuart_mclean/stuart_opening_folder/(Footage)/stewart.tif Verify -rwxr--r-- 12218/dialout 5200057308 2006-04-28 15:35 vol/backup3/todo/mike_bu_mar_2007/stuart_mclean/stuart_opening_folder/(Footage)/stuart.avi /bin/tar: Archive contains `\373\377\032\000\024\000\'\000 \000\a' where numeric off_t value expected /bin/tar: VERIFY FAILURE: 2163624 invalid headers detected /bin/tar: Archive contains `\362\377\327\377\003\000\325\377' where numeric mode_t value expected /bin/tar: Archive contains `\036\000\376\377\027\000\000\000\021\000\r' where numeric time_t value expected /bin/tar: Archive contains `\367\377\344\377\377\377\343\377' where numeric uid_t value expected /bin/tar: Archive contains `\001\000\365\377\350\377\023' where numeric gid_t value expected Verify /bin/tar: Archive contains `\367\377\344\377\377\377\343\377' where numeric uid_t value expected /bin/tar: Archive contains `\001\000\365\377\350\377\023' where numeric gid_t value expected ?rwsrwsrwt -1/-1 18446744073709551615 1969-12-31 18:59 \002 unknown file type `\033' /bin/tar: \002: Unknown file type `ESC', diffed as normal file /bin/tar: \002: Warning: Cannot stat: No such file or directory ...etc... Creating and extracting archives containing large files without --verify works fine. I'm not on the mailing list, so if any replies could be CC'd to me, it'd be appreciated. Thanks.
