Description Paulo Andrade 2015-09-02 20:12:31 UTC 
Created attachment 1069584 [details]
tar-1.15.1-pax-big-sparse-files.patch

$ tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1

$ yum info tar
Name       : tar
Arch       : x86_64
Epoch      : 2
Version    : 1.15.1
Release    : 32.el5_8

I made a test package for the user, based on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516309
and backported patch
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/tar.git/tree/tar-1.26-pax-big-sparse-files.patch?h=f19

User confirms the patched package corrects the
problem.
Comment 1 Pavel Raiskup 2015-11-20 16:31:32 UTC 
RHEL5 is in product phase when we can't expect any future updates other than
really important security fixes.  I would suggest our customers to move
to RHEL7 or at least RHEL6.
