Operating Systems Solaris zip -r <directory> failing due to 2GB limit - Just asking opinion Post 302609405 by frank_rizzo on Monday 19th of March 2012 08:54:32 PM

why not just run this?

Code:
tar clf - client_install | gzip --best > ../client_install.tar.gz

or use the -C flag for tar if your version supports it. If you have the GNU version you can do it all in one step.

Code:
tar -czvlf client_install.tar.gz client_install
