Hi,

While trying to create a big tar file containing big files, I got this:
root@m4fh1:/home/nik/peter # tar -cf - . | tar -tf - > /dev/null
tar: Damaged tar archive
tar: Retrying...
tar: Damaged tar archive
tar: Retrying...
tar: Damaged tar archive
tar: Retrying...
tar: Damaged tar archive
tar: Retrying...
tar: Damaged tar archive
tar: Retrying...
tar: Damaged tar archive
tar: Retrying...
tar: Damaged tar archive
tar: Retrying...
tar: Damaged tar archive
tar: Retrying...

The files hierarchy is this:

root@m4fh1:/home/nik/peter # ls -dlh `find .`
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  nik      3B Jul 13 17:16 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  nik      4B Jul 14 20:06 ./home
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  nik      3B Jul 13 17:24 ./home/nik
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  nik      4B Jul 13 23:29 ./home/nik/peter
-rw-r--r--  1 nik   nik     60M May 13 19:17 ./home/nik/peter/mysqldump
-rw-r--r--  1 nik   nik     14G May 13 19:39 ./home/nik/peter/vhosts.tar
-rw-r--r--  1 1004  1004    42G Jul  6 12:39 
./home/the_extremely_serious_backup.tar
root@m4fh1:/home/nik/peter #

This is on 10-STABLE.

Thanks is advance for any ideas!
Nikos
