Hi,

I have been working in a Backup/Restore Application.
We create a tarball using this cmd:-
*sudo /bin/tar -cvpPf -<file names>*
(there is huge num of files here..)

Recently we have seen, we are seeing "broken pipe" error time and again.
After searching around, I did find out few pointers saying as follows:-
- Check version of tar. The version may not support files more than 2GB. My
system version says *tar (GNU tar) 1.14.*
Does this version supports files more than 2GB? If not, which version
started supporting the files size more than 2 GB?

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gargi.
