Hi,
While trying to create a big tar file containing big files, I got
this:> root at m4fh1:/home/nik/peter # tar -cf - . | tar -tf - > /dev/null
> tar: Damaged tar archive
> tar: Retrying...
> tar: Damaged tar archive
> tar: Retrying...
> tar: Damaged tar archive
> tar: Retrying...
> tar: Damaged tar archive
> tar: Retrying...
> tar: Damaged tar archive
> tar: Retrying...
> tar: Damaged tar archive
> tar: Retrying...
> tar: Damaged tar archive
> tar: Retrying...
> tar: Damaged tar archive
> tar: Retrying...
The files hierarchy is this:
> root at m4fh1:/home/nik/peter # ls -dlh `find .`
> drwxr-xr-x 3 root nik 3B Jul 13 17:16 .
> drwxr-xr-x 3 root nik 4B Jul 14 20:06 ./home
> drwxr-xr-x 3 root nik 3B Jul 13 17:24 ./home/nik
> drwxr-xr-x 2 root nik 4B Jul 13 23:29 ./home/nik/peter
> -rw-r--r-- 1 nik nik 60M May 13 19:17 ./home/nik/peter/mysqldump
> -rw-r--r-- 1 nik nik 14G May 13 19:39 ./home/nik/peter/vhosts.tar
> -rw-r--r-- 1 1004 1004 42G Jul 6 12:39
./home/the_extremely_serious_backup.tar
> root at m4fh1:/home/nik/peter #
This is on 10-STABLE.
Thanks is advance for any ideas!
