Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=5297791 By: gnuwin32 This is due to the use of uintmax in converting values. Although tar has been compiled with large-file support, the value for uintmax_t has not changed; it is still the maximum value that will fit into an unsigned int. Apparently Linux does this differently. The matter will be investigated further, but it is unlikely that a new release of tar will be forthcoming in the near future. In the meantime, might it be possible to use bsdtar <http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libarchive.htm> for your purposes? ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
