Using gzip and my speakers have gone mad!
Hello,
I wanted to compress a directory which I did with: Code:
tar -czvf backup15062007.tar.gz backup15062007/ Code:
gzip -cvf9 backup15062007.tar.gz backup15062007compress.tar.gz Why is this? Thanks. H. |

I don't follow, surely:
Code:
gzip -cvf9 backup15072007.tar.gz backup15062007compress.tar.gz Why then does that have anything to do with the speakers? The command ran for an hour before I stopped it - the 'dings' were driving me mad. H. |

Quote:
Try: gzip -cvf9 backup15072007.tar.gz > backup15062007compress.tar.gz Another thing, compressing a gzip file again will not save any disk space and you will be spending twice the amount of time compressing and extracting the archive. |

Ah, I get it now, missed the > sign.
BTW, I had to remove the previously corrupted archive, but: Code:
rm -vf backup15062007.tar.gz Thanks. H. |
