gzip limitation

[Nobody's Hero]

Any gzip limitation for uncompressing a file over 4gb(compressed)? Getting error

gzip -dv *.gz
030603fstst.dmp.gz: Unknown error

The HPUX version of gzip does have a 2GB limit. You'll need to get the commercial version at http://www.pkware.com/products/index.html?src=nav

The advantage is that it interchanges nicely with other versions of PKZIP.

I think the the gzip version you have may be doesn't support files greater than 2GB. Try download the gzip from the HP porting site and install it, it will work because the large files support has been added in this.
