Shalom,

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do

Search for gzip patches. There is a gzip patch that permits files up to 8 GB to be gzipped.

Be cautious though because older versions of Ignite will not be able to unpack the images.

If your file exceeds 8 GB it needs to be excluded from the image.

Do we have enough space available in /images
gzip had issues of size limit but that has been fix in 1.3.x versions..

Shalom,

You have replaced your gunzip version with the gnu gunzip version.

This itself may be a problem as Ignite was not written to work with this version of gzip.

gnu gzip/gunzip does not have an 2 GB limit but it does have a different and possbily incompatible set of command line options.

whence gzip
what

Please post.

Does your filesystem support largefiles?

That's all nice, but how do you know that
make_sys_image is using _that_ gzip?
