Hello,
I'm trying to tar/gzip a large directory that is 4.5GB on Solaris 9 SPARC.
I'm using the following command:
# tar -cvf - <directory> | gzip > /var/archives/file.tar.gz
The error I get is:
gzip: stdout: Invalid argument
I am writing the file to another mount point called /var/archives that has
20GB of free space. I've installed and tried using GNU tar and GNU gzip
from the Sun freeware site, and get farther along with the file, but still
get the same error. Could someone shed some light on what is going on, and
how to compress this directory? Thanks, and results will be posted.
