Dear Sun Managers,
Hope someone out there can help me on this problem.
I've received a gz format file from one of my friend
and when I tried to unzip this file on my Solaris 8
machine using Solaris 8 gzip and gunzip binary,
after the extraction more than 2GB, unzipping failed
and stop there giving me error "File too large".
# ls -l
-rw------- 1 1234 staff 758407951 Aug 21 9:00
Mas.gz
# file Mas.gz
Mas.gz: gzip compressed data - deflate method ,
original file name
# gzip -dv Mas.gz
Mas.gz:
gzip: Mas: File too large
# gunzip Mas.gz
gunzip: Mas: File too large
>From the truss output, it shows EFBIG error.

write(2, " g z i p", 4) = 4
write(2, " : ", 2) = 2
write(2, " M a s ", 3) = 3
write(2, " : ", 2) = 2
write(2, " F i l e t o o l a r".., 14) = 14
write(2, "\n", 1) = 1
close(4) = 0
unlink("Mas") = 0
llseek(0, 0, SEEK_CUR) =
18657
_exit(1)
Would someone enlighten me. Why I can't unzip a file
that exceeded more than 2GB size? Is this a Solaris
bugs or limitation?
TIA.
Regards,
Tim
