I have a file Server CentOS 5.10, its on the internet, so I compress all csv into one file using (tar -czvf compressed_files.tar.gz *.csv) on this server so that I can download them as one compressed file to save bandwidth, Disk space on this server available is 50Gig, so when I copy the files onto Redhat EL 5.9 and decompress them using (tar -zxvf *.gz) It decompresses maybe 80% then get error:
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
what might be the issue here?
Wild guess: Is the file, by anychance, somewhat over 4 gigs? I've had a problem, years past, when a particular compression tool blew up on files over 4 gigs, because it requires an integer larger than a 32-bit int to hold the file offsets. I wouldn't really expect that to be a problem on Centos 5.x, even on a 32-bit system, but one does wonder....
