These files are POSIX compliant tar archives that were not accepted by previous versions of GNU tar. -* multi-fail.sh +* multi-fail.at Requires gnu-multi-fail-volume1.gtar and gnu-multi-fail-volume2.gtar. These are two parts of a multi-volume archive that previous versions of tar refused to read (at least, without -B option). -* ustar-big-2g.sh +* ustar-big-2g.at Requires ustar-big-2g.tar.bz2. It is a tar archive containing a file with the largest size that a historic tar implementation is able to understand. -* ustar-big-8g.sh +* ustar-big-8g.at Requires ustar-big-8g.tar.bz2. This is a test for reading an archive containing files with the largest size that may be used with ustar (POSIX.1-1990) format. -* pax-big-10g.sh +* pax-big-10g.at Requires pax-big-10g.tar.bz2. It tests handling pax (POSIX.1-2001) archves containing very large files (in this case -- 10 GB). -* qucktest.sh - -A test for compliance to POSIX.1-1990 tar specification. It requires -the files ustar-all-quicktest.tar and quicktest.filelist. Apart -from them, the `tartest' program from 'star' package is needed. -The test may be run only with root privileges, so it is a good -idea to test the contents of ustar-all-quicktest.tar before running -it. - Local variables: mode: outline
