Marko,
Jamie Myers also reported a similar problem with files >8GB.
BackupPC supports the GNU tar extension for files >8GB, so
it is meant to work. Definitely looks like a bug somewhere.
I'm interested in seeing the header of the bad tar file.
I would like the first 10240 bytes of the tar file that
contains the single bad file, eg:
/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C /bin/tar -c -v -f - -C /test path/to/big/file \
| dd bs=1024 count=10 > tar.hdr
You should verify that the header has enough info, eg:
tar tvf tar.hdr
-rw-r--r-- craig/wheel 12884902389 2006-01-11 23:27:41 test.out
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
It will of course complain that the tar archive is too short.
Please email me the tar.hdr file off list.
I just started a test on an FC2 machine with a 12GB file using
tar. If that works then I'll try a WinXP machine with
smbclient.
I'm also curious what you think of the TeraStation as NAS
for BackupPC. I guess I'll wait until it works.
Craig
