make_net_recovery gzip error

MikeL_4 — Mon, 30 Jan 2006 15:31:41 GMT

I just started receiving the following error in my weekly make_net_recovery:

gzip: stdout: File too large
ERROR: The gzip command failed (exit status 1).

The server being used as the Ignite server has largefiles enabled on the /var file system:

dmzftp2:[/root]:=>fsadm /var
fsadm: /etc/default/fs is used for determining the file system type
largefiles

And both the Ignite server, dmzftp2, and the server running the make_net_recovery: dmzweb2, are using Version 1.3.5 of gzip:

dmzftp2:[/root]:=>gzip -V
gzip 1.3.5

dmzweb2:[/root]:=>gzip -V
gzip 1.3.5

We are running the same version of Ignite on both servers:

Version on this system: C.6.2.241
Version on IGNITE server: C.6.2.241

Any ideas what may be causing this error ???

Looks like you have an old version of gzip
get the newer one here http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/

It can handel larger files

I'm running 1.3.5 which according to the download site is the most current:

dmzftp2:[/root]:=>gzip -V
gzip 1.3.5

dmzweb2:[/root]:=>gzip -V
gzip 1.3.5

You are sure that some old version of gzip is being used.
# find /-name gzip
Try to make a gzip larger than 2G.
You may have a mount point called /var/opt/ignite.
# fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /var/opt/ignite
if you want it changed.

I should have read your question closer you in fact do have the correct version of gzip

I do not have a seperate file system on this Ignite server for /var/opt/ignite, everything is under /var

Thanks, I found the issue, someone had stored a large file out there that I wasn't aware of that was causing the issues.

Mike,

What version of HP-UX is your Ignite-UX server?
