error using gunzip
Good day,

Recently I zipped an oracle export file task123.dmp using gzip. And now I am trying to unzip it using gunzip task123.dmp.gz but am unable to do so. It keeps on giving the following error;
> gunzip task123.dmp.gz

gunzip: task123.dmp: File too large


The task123.dmp.gz file size is 248MB. And that particular file system has a balance of 28GB of space. I did try to unzip it Winzip 8.0 in a Windows 2000 Server and it was successful. An unzipped task123.dmp file size is only 2.58GB. My question; why is this happening? I've not faced this kind of error before. Is there any way of over coming this?

Thank you...

I've found a solution for this.

gunzip < task123.dmp.gz > task123.dmp

I would use a pipe: cat task123.dmp.gz | gzip -dc > task123.dmp

What is your gzip version (type gzip -V)
try download a new version, like 1.3.5.
