[Bug 453330] Re: [Karmic] pipes are somewhat brocken

I have a tgz file that weighs in at 4Gb because it is a backup of my
system produced with the SimpleBackup utility, stored to an Iomega 500Gb
USB drive. When I try to untar this file, whether on Windows XP with
7zip, or on my Ubuntu Lucid Aspire One netbook, I systematically get the
EOF error message, for example, when using the Archive Mounter or the
"Extract here" command from Nautilus. The version of tar installed on my
system is 1.22-2.

My questions are : What is the point of making backups if one can't then
replay them back when needed (as is my case at the moment) because the
utility is faulty (under the most commonly used circumstances) ?

Has this bug really been fixed ? In my case at least, it would appear
not to have been.

Alex
