Thanks!
Thanks, especially for the test case and paxutils's genfile fix (to test this, you must git pull the paxutils subdirectory, ./bootstrap doesn't do it). The test case took ~9 minutes on my machine however it is worth having it there as it is the first testcase checking also _creating_ of archive having so big sparse files (not the --list check only). And users still can do: $ make check TESTSUITEFLAGS='-k !sparse05' Could we install the warning similar to "Files removed while archiving" group? Something like '(ca. 10 minutes)'? Pavel
