Title: Bug of Peazip/7zip could easily exhaust space on / [PARTIALLY FIXED]
Post by: tinypoodle on March 15, 2013, 08:42:00 PM

I happened to run into a bug when attempting to compress a big file with Peazip, where /tmp would be used as working directory and therefore space on / could easily get exhausted and compression would fail.
After some research I found the bug has been reported here:

http://code.google.com/p/peazip/issues/detail?id=184

Correcting syntax to specify working directory as mentioned on bottom shows to be successful as a workaround.

Just got to test peazip 5.2.1 and can confirm the bug with 7zip has been fixed - however, I found such a behavior of writing to /tmp is still exhibited with zpaq (not with paq and lpaq though).
