Subject: tar truncates file >4GB to zero size when having large sparse region
Package: tar
Version: 1.14-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
*** Please type your report below this line ***
When a tar archive contains a large sparse file (8 GByte file containing
6 GByte of holes) tar creates the archive without complaining but on
restore it seems to truncate the sparse file to zero size after having
spent a lot of time restoring it. So you can see it growing (slowly) and
than suddenly it implodes.
The ugliness here: such files are created by emulators like qemu. Users
may loose important data. Very dangerous, as you get no warning message
when creating a backup of such sparse files with tar.

Since 347936 and 347937 are identical except for whether there's a
title, I'm closing 347936 immediately and we'll use 347937 to track this
issue.
Juergen, if you intentionally re-filed the bug after noticing it had no
subject the first time, please be aware that the bug tracking system
includes the ability to do things like change the title on an existing
bug using the control interface. You can learn more about this in the
docs at bugs.debian.org.
