Hi All , 

 

lately i'm getting  this error when open base.tar.

Any idea why pg_basebackup created bad tar file? and how to fix it?

 

Thanks!

Avihai

 

tar xOf base.tar > /dev/null

tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

tar: rmtlseek not stopped at a record boundary

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
