Stefan Bodewig commented on SANDBOX-280: ---------------------------------------- what does a native tar command think of the archive? I.e. what does "tar tf your-archive.tar" say? > 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...)? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
