If you just want to move files, you don't need to make an archive. You can just use pax -r -w to do the cloning.

Or you could use something like:

pax -w ... | (cd target; pax -r ...)

You can also use pax's -s option to rename file paths.

>gunzip < rt-4.0.4.pax.gz | /c03/copy sh: /c03/copy:

I'm not sure what you are trying to do on the RHS of the pipe? Your formatting seems all messed up.

If you already have rt-4.0.4.pax.gz, you can use this to unpax it:

gzcat rt-4.0.4.pax.gz | pax -r -v

I'm not sure what you really have above? But gunzip also works for me to extract or list everything:

gunzip < rt-4.0.4.pax.gz | pax -r -v # extract

gunzip < rt-4.0.4.pax.gz | pax -v # list

I'm confused. Is rt-4.0.4 a file or directory you wanted to put in an archive?

>My question is that how to change rt-4.0.4.pax.gz pax file to original one rt-4.0.4 file.

Did you use pax -r to extract from the archive?

I would be helpful if you listed all of the commands you did.

You may want to paste it in a block that looks like this so the formatting
isn't messed up.  This is the Clipboard icon above with a big C.

Hello Dennis,and all Team,

I am awaiting of your precuous reply.

>1- pax -w -v -x pax rt-4.0.4 | gzip > rt-4.0.4new.pax.gz ----------(its run)ok

This would only be ok if you got a list of all of the files to stderr.

Did you cd to rt-4.0.4 at step 0? Or was that to do the ls?

If you did, you need to move up one. Or you can just use ".":

pax -w -v -x pax . | gzip > rt-4.0.4new.pax.gz

If you use ".", you can create a new directory rt-4.0.4_new and put the same files there.

So if you are in the directory that contains rt-4.0.4, then steps 1 & 2 or 1 & 3 should put the directory back the way it was.

Every command is running..

When i running pax utility on bugzilla folder

uatdata1 /c01/bugzilla-4.0.2# pwd

/c01/bugzilla-4.0.2

and run pax command on bugzilla-4.0.2 dir = pax -w -v -x pax . |gzip > bugzilla.new.pax.gz

now bugzilla dir have new folder (bugzilla.new.pax.gz)

O.K.

now i want to extract that (bugzilla.new.pax.gz) folder to /c01/bugzilla-4.0.2/aamir folder

(How can we do that........mean to say. how can extract every single file under bugzilla.new.pax.gz folder to /c01/bugzilla-4.0.2/aamir folder)

>$ pax -w -v -x pax . | gzip > bugzilla.new.pax.gz

>now bugzilla dir have new folder (bugzilla.new.pax.gz)

This is a fatal user error. Either pax will read that new file and cause the archive to be infinitely large or it will have junk there. You need to put the output somewhere else.

(And bugzilla.new.pax.gz is a file (or pax archive), not a directory or folder.)

>how can extract every single file under bugzilla.new.pax.gz folder to /c01/bugzilla-4.0.2/aamir folder

cd aamir

gzcat path-to/bugzilla.new.pax.gz | pax -r
