Error Message

tar: Error is recoverable: exiting now

Code Example

Issue: The starlight-slm archive tarball is corrupt (truncated).

Evidence:

$ cd ~/archive/instances-pi-20260423
$ tar -tzf starlight-slm.pi.tar.gz
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is recoverable: exiting now
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file

Archive sizes vs originals:

starlight-slm1.3G30MB44:1 (truncated!)

The other 4 tarballs verify clean with tar -tzf.

Impact: CANNOT delete original .pi directories until starlight-slm archive is re-created.

Action needed: Re-create starlight-slm.pi.tar.gz from the original at ~/pi-admin/instances/starlight-slm/.pi/

Note: The original .pi directory on disk is intact (1.3G) — no data loss yet.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Re-create the starlight-slm.pi.tar.gz archive from the original directory at ~/pi-admin/instances/starlight-slm/.pi/ to resolve the corruption issue.

Guidance

  • Verify the integrity of the original directory ~/pi-admin/instances/starlight-slm/.pi/ to ensure it's complete and not corrupted.
  • Use the tar command with the -czf options to re-create the starlight-slm.pi.tar.gz archive, ensuring to specify the correct source directory and archive filename.
  • Check the size of the re-created archive to ensure it matches the expected size (approximately 1.3G) to confirm it's not truncated.
  • Once the new archive is created, re-run the tar -tzf command to verify its integrity.

Example

cd ~/pi-admin/instances/starlight-slm/
tar -czf ~/archive/instances-pi-20260423/starlight-slm.pi.tar.gz .pi/

Notes

The provided tar command options and archive sizes suggest a Linux-based system, so the guidance is tailored to that environment. If the system or tar version differs, the commands may need adjustments.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Re-create the starlight-slm.pi.tar.gz archive as described, since the original directory is intact and no data loss has occurred. This approach ensures data preservation and allows for the deletion of the original .pi directories once the new archive is verified.
