[Solved] Gunzip tar A directory checksum error on media
Hi,
what is the directory checksum error ?
It seems to work with smaller files < 2G but when I trying to tar and zip a 140GB filesystem, it will tar and zip into 20GB
# tar -cvf - /oracle | gzip > /test4/test4.tgz
it will work fine,
but when unzipping it and untar it, I get this error
tar: 0511-169 A directory checksum error on media; 804399360 not equal to 12401.
someone mentioned:
Quote:
many gzip utilies cannot handle file sizes > 2GB
If you use gzip in a pipe, it will not have any of these problems:
# tar cf - source | gzip -9 > backup.tar.gz
In this case, the filesystem itself will become the limiting factor.
Also, if you copy using scp, either your scp client or server could
become the limiting factor. To avoid this also, use a pipe again:
# tar cf - source | ssh server 'cd /path/to/dir ; gzip -9 > backup.tar.gz'
And I did use gzip but got the same error
tar version tar-1.14-2
Hello
I'm trying to use a combination of gunzip and tar to unpack and unzip a *.tar.gz file. I tried gunzip ~/myfile.tar.gz | gtar -x
This will unzip the file, but it won't unpack. Any hints?
thanks a lot
