tar:read error: unexpected EOF
I need archive data from some tar files. I use the command "tar xvf
filename". For about half of the files I get the error message "tar:read error: unexpected EOF". The number of bytes extracted comes very close to the size of the tar file. An example: 972434779 Jan 10 01:01 20080109-bkp.tar "du -k" of the extracted directory gives me 949172. Am I losing data? Is there way to tell and if so how much? Can I fix the tar file? Is there another utility that I can use in place of tar? |
