Does the problem occur if any members are larger than 2GB, or only in some cases? I couldn't reproduce the problem with a simple test case, on Debian stable with tar 1.16.1 that I compiled. Here's what I did. What happens when you try the same thing with your 'tar'? $ echo foo | dd bs=1 seek=2G of=big 4+0 records in 4+0 records out 4 bytes (4 B) copied, 0.00105214 s, 3.8 kB/s $ ls -l big -rw-r--r-- 1 eggert eggert 2147483652 May 8 09:42 big $ tar cvvWf tar big -rw-r--r-- eggert/eggert 2147483652 2007-05-08 09:42 big Verify -rw-r--r-- eggert/eggert 2147483652 2007-05-08 09:42 big $ rm big tar
