This happened to me on a system running Ubuntu 6.10 (edgy) -- haven't
tried it yet under 7.04. I am creating the tar file on an external
ieee1394 ("firewire") drive with the manufacturer's FAT32 formatting.Under Edgy, Archive Manager put up a dialog saying an error occurred while writing the archive. Upon clicking the "Command Line Output" button, the message said "File size limit exceeded (core dumped)." I won't bother attaching the crash report, but I will confirm that I just looked at the archive file I was trying to create, and Nautilus reports that the file is "4.0 GB (4294967295 bytes)" I see nothing else unusual about the file. Because Cylou68 said he also had the crash when attempting to cp the file, it seems possible this is a bug in the filesystem handling for FAT32. I'll try to confirm it and report back here. -- Tar is crashing on FAT32 writing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72756 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
