> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-468
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Bug

> According to
> [tar|https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Blocking.html] the
> definition of a block is 512 bytes, and a record is a collections of blocks
> that will be written in a single write. In the commons compress code and
