gunzip crc error

Jim LaBounty — Mon, 08 Aug 2005 11:54:23 GMT

I'm getting:

gzip: "filename": invalid compressed data--crc error

when trying to guzip a file.

Any ideas?
Thanks....Jim

Are yo saying the file is corrupt or gzip is corrupt?

I would say your *.gz file is corrupt.

I second Patrick's opinion. You've got yourself a corrupt file. If this file is too big (>2GB) at the compression time, it might have been cut off towards the end of compression and nobody may have noticed it. If it is not a big file, someone might have messed with it with an editor or something, accidentally. Otherwise, I have never seen gzip creating corrupt archives.

Jim -- IF the file got moved via FTP along the way, its probably a case of a non-binary FTP .

I've run into that before.

This file may be corrupt or it is not a gzip file . check 'file

What about...

gunzip: filename.dbf.gz: invalid compressed data--format violated

Is that much different than --crc error?

This means the zip file is corrupted ..
