tar: 0511-194 Reached end-of-file before expected.

Hello everyone!

I wrote a script for backing up a folder. It goes fine but today it started to spit out this error, when a folder is taring:

tar: 0511-194 Reached end-of-file before expected.

I didn't make any changes!

- OS: UNIX AIX ibm 3
- the folder I'm trying to tar is 11Gb large
- command: tar cvf /archive1/dpx20_dokumenti.tar /dokumenti
- in /etc/security is supoort for large file enabled

Any suggestions?

Thanks alot for future help!!!

Tilen

Check the space on ur disk.
It might have consumed the entire space.
use df command to check the space.

It is 100% quite enough disk space.

What else could be wrong?

may be the filesystem that you are creating the tar file in is being
filled up when you create the tar file.
You either need to grow that filesystem size or create it someplace with enough space.

The filesystem is big enought but I think, it's not supported for large files or something like that. Gotta check.
