Hi all,
I have many music files, so I often archive music directory with "tar
-cJvf music.tar.xz music" with environment variable XZ_OPTS="-T 3" (I
have 4 threaded first generation i7). The archive is about 30GB.
Until some weeks ago it worked fine. However since I updated to the
latest version of cygwin64 some weeks ago, I have a trouble extracting
from that archive at some point. "tar -xJvf music.tar.xz" says "archive
file is corrupt" or something and quits. This is reproducible, and
gzip has no problem at all (ie, "tar -czvf music.tar.gz music" works fine.
So I want to ask anyone has a similar problem? I want developers to
fix it.
Thanks in advance.
