I've delete the file which is specified by the error, but the errors occurs on another file. The error is not verbose to understand what happens. Test script: --------------- $oTar = new \PharData('test_dir/test.tar.gz'); $oTar->buildFromDirectory('/test_dir_huge/'); // /test_dir_huge/ is a direcotry of 608MB $oTarGz = $oTar->compress(\Phar::GZ); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73946&edit=1
