gzip

[j773303]

When gzip 1.txt would get the error message as below:
1.txt: unknown error

The 1.txt size is 10G, Does any limitation on gzip? How to fix this problem? Thanks.

[Steven E. Protter]

gzip tops out at 8 GB.

I know of no fix that gets beyond that.

Mabye gnu gzip.

Also check for the dependencies there

Does gzip-1.3.5 support over 8G? Thanks

My OS is 11.11, I can't find the gzip-1.3.5 for 11.11, it only for 11.0 and 11.22 right?Thanks.

neither gzip nor bzip have a limit if you use it in a pipe

# gzip -9 <1.txt >1.gz
# bzip2 <1.txt >1.bz2

And both gzip and bzip for 11.00 work fine on 11.11 (11i)

Both also as prebuilt binaries available on my HP ITRC site pages, which can be found at

Download the source code from the site.

Then build the gzip from the source code.

check the installation page

procura,

I tried checking your site.
But could not access the download section.

Any problems there?

[T G Manikandan]

I think your gzip version would be

1.2.4 or below that

version 1.2.4a or higher one should solve your problem

My main site has been down for the last week due to hardware problems, and it is not unlikely that the two mirrors suffered from that.

Once they pick up on mirroring, all should be well again
