crc errors in tar files

crc errors in tar files

Post by Donn Mille » Wed, 08 Apr 1998 04:00:00



I recently was unpacking the full FreeBSD source distribution in
single-user mode (with install.sh all), and I noticed that I got a crc
error in the sys dist.  But when I tried to upack the sys distribution by
itself, the gzip errors went away.  I repeated this a couple of more times
with no errors.  I had everything mounted async.

I wonder if this is a meta-data problem that occasionally occurs on
filesystems mounted async.  Again, this error occured on a tarball, but
then went away on the next try.  I didn't modify the file in any way.

It's OK now; my memory was just bad.

1. tar -xvf mozilla.tar = tar: directory checksum error

hi

I have downloaded the mozilla source twice from their web site. I
download it at school using RH 7.1 & 6.2 and then I copyed it onto my
zip disk and carried it home and ftp it from my RH 7.1 machine to
solaris. both times and also once when I made a tar of my own I get a
directory checksum error. I am very sure the files are the correct size.

I see that I have options to use -i ignore with the solaris tar program
and I use star and it extracts without error.

Does anyone else consistently get errors with solaris's tar program and
large file's?. I don't get any error's when I gunzip or bunzip2 them.

It seems funny- I have always used gzip and bzip to sort of protect my
tar files from checksum errors I always expect to get the error with
them first.

Is it the mozilla download?  or is it the diffrence between- every one
else using a diffrent version of tar like gnu? or can anyone see
anything I am doing wrong?

I never get errors with small files < 20 meg that I can remember, but
the last couple mozilla and the one I made were a little over 200meg
uncompressed.

THis isn't really a big problem because star and -i work but I am still
very concerned about the stability of my files.

Thanks
