Hi,
I got a gzipped tar file that was created on a Solaris machine that contains
the backup of a larger database.
The file contains an item that is around 4 GBytes in size, the total size of
the archives content is 6 GBytes approx.
When I try to extract the content of this archive, the extraction process is
cancelled with the following error messages:
...
data2/POET/Backups/hrsLex/objects.dat
tar: Archive value 4178575360 is out of off_t range 0..2147483647
data2/POET/Backups/hrsLex/objects.idx
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Child died with signal 13
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
I checked with cygcheck -s -v -r, the version of tar I am using is
1.13.19-1.
Is there a problem with tar?
Or is it due to the lack of largefile support in the 1.3.6 version of
cygwin?
I checked the mailing list archive and the FAQ already, but found no
answers.
Peter
