QSHQLL tar command - 001-2343 Header field for archive format ustar is too small

  • 1.  QSHQLL tar command - 001-2343 Header field for archive format ustar is too small

    Posted Wed December 07, 2022 11:44 AM
    Attempting to archive a simple test file b.txt to a new archive
    Command:  tar -cvf /ldrtest/test3.tar /ldrtest/b.txt 
    Receiving this error:  001-2343 Header field for archive format ustar is too small for storing information for file /ldrtest/b.txt.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Ultimately, I need to be able to archive several larger .csv files and then compress into a .tar.gz
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thank you
