I'm using 2.4.5p1 on NetBSD with Kerberos encryption and

I tried to verify some tapes and found that 'gzip -t' failed on the
restored files. On investigation, after adding some better
diagnostics to gzip (NetBSD's own), I found that the problem was that
the last 32K block was padded with zeros.
Unflushed dumps in the holding directory have this problem for remote
dumps (krb encrypted), but not local ones.
On an older amanda install, not using krb4, I don't have this problem.
Is anyone else seeing this?
Hi Greg,
Yes, I have seen it with the new data encryption in Amanda 2.5. gzip
will ignore the trailing zero and give out advisory about trailing
garbage. While bzip2 does not ignore trailing zeros. I have yet found
out what part of Amanda code is responsible for the trailing zeros though.
