unzipping _client.cpio.gz issue
Hi,

FYI I've this AIX6.1 machine that I'm telnet to using Putty. I have this oracle client file which is 1G+ that took me several hours to transfer.

I was trying to unzip 10gr2_aix5l64_client.cpio.gz.
Code:
# gunzip 10gr2_aix5l64_client.cpio.gz /usr/app/oracle
gunzip: /usr/app/oracle is a directory -- ignored

now I see, instead of cpio.gz its .cpio. I don't want the installer to be messed up.
Code:
# cd /usr
# ls
10gr2_aix5l64_client.cpio

please help/advice.

Code:
# whoami
root

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
previously I've also ..not sure if it's related
Code:
# mkdir -p /usr/app/oracle
# chown -R oracle:oinstall /usr/app/oracle
# chmod -R 775 /usr/app/oracle

Thanks

All gunzip does is uncompress the file in the directory where it resides it does not redirect the output.

The syntax of your command is trying to unzip /usr/app/oracle no wonder it is complaining.

thanks for the response
1)
https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...g-problem.html
okay, so the file now has been compressed from cpio.gz to cpio?

2)
so now would it be okay if I
Code:
cpio -idmv 10gr2_aix5l64_client.cpio

reason me asking first coz i dont want to mess up that file...took me like 8hours to ftp it Smilie

Just take a backup of the file away from where you have it now and try the cpio command as you have typed it here. I have not used the command for a long time as most things are in TAR format. However I thought the syntax for the command was:

Code:
cpio -idmv <filename

However I might be wrong!

Code:
# cpio -idmv < 10gr2_aix5l64_client.cpio


 cpio: 0511-903 Out of phase!
         cpio attempting to continue...


 cpio: 0511-904 skipping 301202 bytes to get back in phase!
         One or more files lost and the previous file is possibly corrupt!

Segmentation fault(coredump)

but when i tried
Code:
cpio  -idcmv <10gr2_aix5l64_client.cpio


Disk1/install/images
Disk1/install
Disk1/response/clientruntime.rsp
Disk1/response/clientcustom.rsp
Disk1/response/instantClient.rsp
Disk1/response/clientadmin.rsp
Disk1/response
Disk1/welcome.html
Disk1

I think is good...next step > figure out how to launch/install this oracle client Smilie let's see........

Any time if you want check the format of a file, you can run:
Code:
# file filename

So you can know if the file already uncompressed.
