I'm using gnu tar v 1.13 on win2003 to tar a remote directory to a remote location (both CIFS, both windows 2003 machines). This generally works great and quickly, even with large directories (200+GB). However, I have one case where tar fails with the message: "C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\tar.exe: off_t value 72840418836 too large (max=68719476735)". This value is exactly the number of bytes of a large file in this archive (67.8GB). It appears that using tar v 1.16 on a linux (debian stable) machine will create the tarfile without problems (altough 7zip on windows will not read it again). Is it possible there is a file size limitation in the old tar version? Would someone be willing to provide a newer binary? I'd really appreciate it. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
