Hello, I have an issue with tar, it seems tar manages to create archive of files larger than 8GB how ever, the header becomes curropted and thus tar is unable to extract the archive. I've Googled around and all solutions that were given were not the ones I needed. I wanted to know if this bug is being worked on / was already fixed? (I've downloaded the latest version but it didn't work there too).
Is there any problem in representing the file size in the header with Hexadecimal base rather than octal? Won't that give tar the option to create and extract files larger than 8GB with out much of a change? Thanks, Dan -- Sent from my Android phone with mail.com Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
