Tar file is corrupted when using single File larger than 8 GB

[pratikkaneria]

`var _tar = require('tar-fs');
var fs = require('fs');
var myArgs = process.argv.slice(2);

_tar.pack(myArgs[0], {finish: ()=>{
console.log("done")
} }).pipe(fs.createWriteStream(myArgs[1]));`

I am using the simple tar pack method to create a tar , in my folder i have a file which is of size 14 GB , the tar is created successfully but it is corrupted.

@pratikkaneria were you ever able to resolve this or figure out an alternative to recover the data? I am encountering this as well.

Any updates on this? Encountering the same problem.

Did you find any workarounds or alternative packages that can handle bigger single files?

I ended up writing the files to disk and using the command line tar instead, avoiding the problem entirely.
