• Bug#265200: rzip: Fails to decompress files it made..

    Package: rzip
    Version: 2.0-1
    Severity: important

    Let's look at this:
    time rzip -d hda1.ntfsclone.img.rz
    Stream read failed
    Fatal error - exiting

    real 14m43.040s
    user 6m2.840s
    sys 6m12.640s
    eyck@:/fs/tmp$ ls
    hda1.ntfsclone.img hda1.ntfsclone.img.rz
    eyck@:/fs/tmp$ du -sh *
    5.3G hda1.ntfsclone.img
    968M hda1.ntfsclone.img.rz

    Originally this file had 2.3G size, this happens on reliable machine.
    One probably very important thing though - this was sparse file, made by ntfsclone...,
    but even taking into consideration rzip not handling such files, it should decompress into ~6G file
    with ~4G filled with 0s.
    (Very impressive compression though, where bzip2 -9 makes 350M files, rzip -9 makes ~220M archives,
    ideal tool for long-term archiving... if only decompression would work)
