Hi,

Has anybody seen this behavior? Trying to untar a 1gb bz2 archive on the NanDrive in the FitPC2 gives me an 'unexpected EOF' causing tar to stop. Untarring the same archive on another machine gives no problem.
Is the NanDrive too fast? Is there a buffer underrun? The EOF always happens on a different place in the archive, as the -tvv option shows. So it seems the archive itself would intact. Every once in a very little while, it succeeds in untarring...

Would love to solve this, I know some workarounds, but as I am using Gentoo, every once in a while this could be necessary on a remote location.

Thanks for any help!!

I'll check that out, and keep you posted.

Thanks, Jeroen
