Christian Grobmeier updated COMPRESS-16:
----------------------------------------

    Attachment: patch-for-compress.txt

Based on the ant patch by David Wartell I created a compress-patch.
I didn't commit it till I got it tested - if somebody has > 8 gig files around, please help with testing :-)

> I made a TAR file which contains a file entry where the file is 10 GB in size.
> When I attempt to extract the file using TarInputStream, it fails with the following stack trace:
> 	java.io.IOException: unexpected EOF with 24064 bytes unread
> 		at org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.tar.TarInputStream.read(TarInputStream.java:348)
> 		at org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.tar.TarInputStream.copyEntryContents(TarInputStream.java:388)
> So, TarInputStream does not seem to support large (> 8 GB?) files.
> Here is something else to note: I created that TAR file using TarOutputStream , which did not complain when asked to write a 10 GB file into the TAR file, so I assume that TarOutputStream has no file size limits?  That, or does it silently create corrupted TAR files (which would be the worst situation of all...)?
