gunzip crc error

[Jim LaBounty]

I'm getting:

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

when trying to guzip a file.

Any ideas?
Thanks....Jim

hy,

i think that is not gzip file or is gzip corrupt file

DM.

[Jim LaBounty]

DM....
it was gzipped originally.
Are yo saying the file is corrupt or gzip is corrupt?

[Patrick Wallek]

I would say your *.gz file is corrupt.

[Mel Burslan]

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.

hy,

Patrick say good, the file can be corrupt

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

[Jim LaBounty]

What about...

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

Is that much different than --crc error?

[Bejoy C Alias]

This means the zip file is corrupted ..
