-rw-r--r--   1 magesh  magesh   312270848 Jul 27 09:36 07272009.tar

As you can see i can tar all the files. But when i gave the gzip command, i am getting an error in it. The following is the command and its error.

Code:

acidmmm:gzip 07272009.tar

gzip: 07272009.tar.gz: No space left on device

Is there any limit on size of the file.. If so, Please advise me on how to take it forward. I just want to archive these files in as much less memory i can.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Regards,
Magesh
