Ok, I correct my command lines. The form that was giving me trouble:
tar -cf - directory | 7z a -si -v5m archive.tar.7z The form that I changed to: tar -cf - directory | 7z a -si -tbzip2 -v5m proj.tar.7z Of course, trying it now on a small folder didn't produce a crash in either of them. It must be specific to the files I'm trying to archive, or maybe the large archive file size. When I encounter it again, I can post the crashlog (but it's big, as I mentioned in the summary). -- 7zr crash when compressing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
