Re: [Bug-tar] Split Big File Using "tar"

[Rolando Sacramento]

hi,

 

Is this 80G file is only 1 file?

 

if not you can specify a specific limit to create a Tar File.

e.g.

 

ulong TotalFileSize = 0;

int Limit =  1000; //KB

foreach(Fileinfo oFile in Directory.GetFiles()){

    TotalFileSize  += oFile.Length;

    if (TotalFileSize < Limit){

        TarEntry oTarEntry  = TarEntry.CreateEntryFromFile(oFile.FullName);

        archive.WriteEntry(oTar, true);

    }

    else{

        archive.Close();

    }

}

 

then loop again.

 

 

if this is 80G file is only

You do a similar process above but instead of reading and adding per file, you must open a stream and read from the streams. after a condition that satisfy the limit of your per archive close it. and create a new archive using the same stream.
