Hello all, Here is an issue I have in one of my software ... I hope someone can help me ;-)
My software is writing a stream of data on a tape drive in Tar format, but as I don't know, before the end of transfer, the file size, the file size I am writing in the tar header is a fake one (the largest possible). So when I am retriving the tar file from tape, tar returns a warning like « unexpected EOF » and the file retrieved has not the same size than the original one (and ends with a lot of 0x00). I would like to find a solution to retrieve exaclty the same file than the original one (in size) and keep compatibility with Gnu Tar format. Any idea ???
