unable to extract a TAR file that contains an entry which is 10 GB in size
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SANDBOX-280
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANDBOX-280
Project: Commons Sandbox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Compress
Affects Versions: Nightly Builds
Environment: I am using win xp sp3, but this should be platform
independent.
Reporter: Sam Smith
I made a TAR file which contains a file entry where the file is 10 GB in size.
When I attempt to extract the file using TarInputStream, it fails with the
following stack trace:
java.io.IOException: unexpected EOF with 24064 bytes unread
at
org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.tar.TarInputStream.read(TarInputStream.java:348)
at
org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.tar.TarInputStream.copyEntryContents(TarInputStream.java:388)
So, TarInputStream does not seem to support large (> 8 GB?) files.
Here is something else to note: I created that TAR file using TarOutputStream ,
which did not complain when asked to write a 10 GB file into the TAR file, so I
assume that TarOutputStream has no file size limits? That, or does it silently
create corrupted TAR files (which would be the worst situation of all...)?
