zip -r <directory> failing due to 2GB limit - Just asking opinion
Hi,
Am trying to run zip -r on a 2.4G directory and it is failing with the error below. I believe this is because of the 2G limit of the zip program.
Code:
server101(oper01)[]/u01/temp$: date
Thu Mar 15 12:53:44 NZDT 2012
server101(oper01)[]/u01/temp$: ls -l

Initial workaround I used is to tar -cvf client_intall.tar ./client_install and then do gzip client_install.tar which works fine but is a two (2) step process.
From Googling I found the following which looks better and is a one-liner, I mean sort of.
Code:
http://erwied.dns2go.com/oreilly_unix30/upt/ch15_07.htm - 15.7. Save Space: tar and compress a Directory Tree
% cd project
% tar clf - . | gzip --best > ../project.tar.gz
% gzcat ../project.tar.gz | tar tvf
So using that link, I do as below:
Code:
cd client_install
tar clf - . | gzip --best > ../client_install.tar.gz
My question is, is it possible to get around without having to do the cd client_install thingy? Will it be better to use cpio instead?
Below are my system and tar details.

Hi,
I am using the jar command to compress a directory. The size of the directory contents is 105 GB. The jar/zip that gets created is approximately 5.5 GB in size. But this file seems to be corrupt when verified using the unzip command.
Is there any limitation for the size of the zip file?... (4 Replies)
Any idea how to get around this limit? I have a 42GB database backup file (.dmp) taking up disk space because neither tar nor cpio are able to put it onto a tape. I am on a SUN Solaris using SunOS 5.8. I would appreciate whatever help can be provided. Thanks! (9 Replies)
