Error when extracting english release: Cannot open: File too large

Common Voice
#1

After downloading the latest english release I run

tar -zxf en.tar.gz

This runs for a while (extracting >100k clips), but then I get lots of messages of the form:

tar: clips/common_voice_en_18144670.mp3: Cannot open: File too large

My disk is not full, my RAM is not full, downloaded the dataset many times and never had this happen. Can someone help please?

What operating system, filesystem, and version of tar are you using?

#3

Are you using a 32-bit OS or 32-bit version of tar?

#4

OS: 4.19.0-0.bpo.5-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.37-3~bpo9+1 (2019-05-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux

tar (GNU tar) 1.29 64-bit

Filesystem is nfs

Nevermind, it seems to be related to our local setup.
