Hi,
I tried to upload the crash dump files unix.0 and vmcore.0 ..bzip2 is working fine for unix.0 but for vmcore.0 its not working and it shows the below error. Is there any size limit or file type for bzip2. current vmcore.0 file size -- 2326372352 kb
# file vmcore.0
vmcore.0: SunOS 5.8 Generic_117350-47 64-bit crash dump from 'tktpfclu1'
"bzip2: Input file vmcore.0 doesn't exist, skipping."
The file is larger than 2 GB. From "man largefile" (Solaris 10):
Standards, Environments, and Macros largefile(5)
NAME
largefile - large file status of utilities
DESCRIPTION
A large file is a regular file whose size is greater than or
equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes). A small file is a regular
file whose size is less than 2 Gbyte.
Large file aware utilities
A utility is called large file aware if it can process large
files in the same manner as it does small files. A utility
that is large file aware is able to handle large files as
input and generate as output large files that are being pro-
cessed. The exception is where additional files are used as
system configuration files or support files that can augment
the processing. For example, the file utility supports the
-m option for an alternative "magic" file and the -f option
for a support file that can contain a list of file names. It
is unspecified whether a utility that is large file aware
will accept configuration or support files that are large
files. If a large file aware utility does not accept confi-
guration or support files that are large files, it will
cause no data loss or corruption upon encountering such
files and will return an appropriate error.
The following /usr/bin utilities are large file aware:
adb awk bdiff cat chgrp
chmod chown cksum cmp compress
cp csh csplit cut dd
dircmp du egrep fgrep file
find ftp getconf grep gzip
head join jsh ksh ln
ls mdb mkdir mkfifo more
mv nawk page paste pathchck
pg rcp remsh rksh rm
rmdir rsh sed sh sort
split sum tail tar tee
test touch tr uncompress uudecode
uuencode wc zcat
Note that even in Solaris 10, bzip2 is not large file aware.
