Shalom,

Search for gzip patches. There is a gzip patch that permits files up to 8 GB to be gzipped.

Be cautious though because older versions of Ignite will not be able to unpack the images.

If your file exceeds 8 GB it needs to be excluded from the image.

HI ,

I cannot not able to find any patches while searching for gzip patches .

Thanks
Ganesh

Do we have enough space available in /images
gzip had issues of size limit but that has been fix in 1.3.x versions..

[Ganesh Balraman]

Hi

I had 10Gb free space in /image .

Shalom,

You have replaced your gunzip version with the gnu gunzip version.

This itself may be a problem as Ignite was not written to work with this version of gzip.

gnu gzip/gunzip does not have an 2 GB limit but it does have a different and possbily incompatible set of command line options.

whence gzip
what

Please post.

Hi,

Does your filesystem support largefiles?

That's all nice, but how do you know that
make_sys_image is using _that_ gzip?
