True, forgot that. I'm on Linux 2.4.19 (Debian woody), using GNU tar
1.13.25 and gzip 1.3.2. I have never had problems recovering files from
huge dumps.
I'm using Red Hat Linux 9 with kernel version 2.4.20 on the server, and
I have clients running Linux and SGI IRIX (version 6.5.16f). tar version
is 1.13.25 on both platforms; gzip is 1.3.3 on Linux, 1.2.4a on IRIX.
I'm mainly having problems with IRIX clients since that's where the
large filesystems are connected. These get corrupted with server as well
as client compression, i.e. I've tried both gzip versions.
