When I pass the "z" flag to tar when creating an archive, and the files
grow while the archive is being created, I get an invalid gzip output:
$ tar --version
bsdtar 1.2.53 - libarchive 1.3.1
$ tar zcf mybackup.tar.gz mybackup/ # files in mybackup/ are growing
tar: Truncated write; file may have grown while being archived.
tar: Truncated write; file may have grown while being archived.
tar: GZip compression failed
$ gzip -dc mybackup.tar.gz > /dev/null
gzip: ../mybackup.tar.gz: unexpected end of file
gzip: ../mybackup.tar.gz: uncompress failed
However, it appears to work fine on:
$ tar --version
bsdtar 1.2.53 - libarchive 1.2.53

Jeff Davis
