[Bug 246861] Re: 7zip fails to encrypt, says "E_FAIL"

[Adam J Richardson]

I'm also getting a cryptic E_FAIL from 7za, but I'm not doing any
encrypting. Should this be a separate bug?

# dd if=/dev/sda bs=1024k conv=noerror,sync | pv | 7za a ./backup-sda.7z
-si -bd

7-Zip (A)  4.58 beta  Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Igor Pavlov  2008-05-05

Creating archive ./backup-sda.7z

Compressing  [Content]/s] [                                         <=>

System error:
E_FAIL

For now I'll just use gzip, but it would be nice to compress my raw disk
images on-the-fly with 7z.
