tar 1.13.19-1: extraction of a .tar.gz file with -xvz ends with "tar: Archive value 4178575360 is out of off_t range 0..2147483647"
Title: tar 1.13.19-1: extraction of a .tar.gz file with -xvz ends with "tar: Archive value 4178575360 is out of off_t range 0..2147483647" 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.

Right - cygwin doesnt support files larger than 2 gigs. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

I am also told that the GNU version of tar is per default largefile aware does cygwin have a different implementation? tar --version at least suggest that it is the GNU version: E:\Exchange\2002-02-21\cygwin>tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.13.19 Copyright 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
