lrztar doesn't accept -U option #24

Closed nemobis closed 9 years ago

nemobis commented 11 years ago

$ lrztar -lDU $dir

Cannot have -U and stdin, unlimited mode disabled.

It could fallback to creating a temporary tar file; doing it manually is tedious.

The warning does not stop it from compressing successfully.

The same problem in here, I'd like to try the Ultimate option as the normal mode doesn't give any more benefits than the standard zip file.

$ lrztar -fUz -o my_file.tar.lrz MyDir/

Any workaround?

Do it in 2 steps? Tar it then lrzip it. lrztar is just a very simple wrapper, not a real archiving tool so it's not smart enough to know when it won't fit in ram and then change from STDIO to using temporary files. tar cf my_file.tar MyDir/ lrzip -DUz my_file.tar
