Well,
first problem in having pigz code copied into libdar is that it does not follow the programming principe of "one source code one maintainer". in particular, if pigz receive bug fixes in the future (most probable), theses will not be propagated to libdar's copy of that same code. The second point is that libdar is a thread safe library, having global symbols will break this major...

new feature implemented : Quoted from the man page:
-_, --retry-on-change count[:max-byte]
When a file has changed at the time it was read for backup, you can
ask dar to retry saving it again. To activate this feature you must
provide the maximum number a given file can be re-saved (this is the.

What makes dar faster compared to tar when it comes to restore a file, is that dar does not compress the whole archve at once, but does compress it file by file so it has not to uncompress the whole archive to just restore a file in the middle of it. However, this has a drawback: the compression ratio is not as good as what can be done using tar, espetially when compressing a lot of small files...

Hello,
Yep I will update the man page about this restriction on the dates dar is able to handle (dar stores dates as unsigned integer number (class infinint) which has no upper limit).
Thanks for the confirmation that the fix works !
Et merci du coup de main pour la résolution de ce problème.
Bien sûr bonnes fêtes de fin d'année aussi !
Denis.

Very interesting!
First, you are right, I have not thought it could be possible to have negative value (I thought time_t type was unsigned).
Second, on my 32 bits system, I cannot crash dar, because the negative dates -60 is replaced by January 19th 2038 which is (2^32 - 1) seconds past 1970, not (2^64 -1) as on your 64 bits system, point you have reported. 2^64 - 1 is rawly 5 millard...
