Everthing looks OK, but if there were more than 4 million files in that tarball, then you could run into trouble ;-)

Only thing, what comes in mind, is that the filesystem, where the tarball itself resides, has problems with files bigger than 2,2 GB and the tarball is currupt, because it was not copied completely.

And then my Latin is at the end

I am having trouble burning a 4Gb tarball at the moment. Not sure what all the problem is but I had another DVD with one. This is the command I use and the error less the looooooong list of files:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] / # tar -xvf /media/hdd/Data_2008.07.04-14.50.23_2.tar -C /backup/test/
data/Gentoo-stuff/livecd-i686-installer-2007.0.iso.bz2
tar: Skipping to next header
<<SNIP>>
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[EMAIL PROTECTED] / #

ls of the file:

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4295060992 2008-07-04 19:07 Data_2008.07.04-14.50.23_2.tar

Any idea what that is all about?
