Hi,
I use tar 1.20. I want to extract one single file from a 16GB tar archive that is gzipped with the following command line: "tar -xzp --occurrence=1 --ignore-failed-read -C 'target' -f 'tgz' 'file' >/dev/null 2>&1" It extracts the file after some seconds but doesn't stop. top shows a gzip process running. After some minutes gzip stops and tar ends. I read in the changelogs to an earlier version that such a bug was fixed. Is this expected to work? Thank you for any help. Bye, martin.
