The following reply was made to PR bin/9123; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Tim Kientzle <kientzle@freebsd.org> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, rtm@eecs.harvard.edu Cc: Kris Kennaway <kris@freebsd.org> Subject: Re: bin/9123: pax can't read tar archives that contain files > 4GB Date: Sun, 25 Jul 2004 10:32:21 -0700 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/9123 Is this still a problem? I've tested it and it looks fixed in -CURRENT (as of a couple of years ago). (Of course, pax still can't handle entries >=8g, a limitation not present in bsdtar, star, or even gtar. Maybe it's time to start on a libarchive-based pax implementation. ;-) If there are no objections, I'll close this. Tim
