Tar too large to archive. Use E function modifier.
hey all, i am trying to tar up a folder with sub folders the over all size will be about 70gb but when i use the normal command Code:
tar -cvf tar -cvf CLPSI_PRU_Escrow_31994.tar CLPSI_PRU_Escrow_31994 i get an error tar: Code:
CLPSI_PRU_Escrow_31994/dump1/PROD_SAE_jria3_dump.5 too large to archive. Use E function modifier. so i used the E function but then get another error Code:
tar: conversion routines not available for current locale. file (CLPSI_PRU_Escrow_31994): UTF-8 conversion failed. can anyone please help, all i want to do is tar up the folder and then encrypt the data with gpg Last edited by pludi; 04-19-2010 at 05:44 AM.. Reason: code tags, please.... |

Please bear in mind, that using the E modifier produces non portable tar archives, afaik.

As far as I know, the header format produced under the E modifier can only be read by the Solaris tar and star (BerliOS Developer: Project Summary - star).

The only realistic tar alternative - GNU tar - also produces non-portable tar archives.
As long as the OP can untar the tarballs, though, portability is an academic concern. |
