Hi,
I have some .zip files which contain in them files that are > 2G in size.
I am using unzip command to extract the files. Files contained in the .zip that are < 2G are not having any problem but those that are > 2G gives me this error:
error: invalid compressed data to inflate
What other compression software under Solaris 10 that I can use to extract the files?
Thanks,
Raymond
Firstly, what version of Solaris? Really old versions (eg, Solaris 2.5.1) did have a 2GB file size limit but I assume you are using a recent version? Solaris 10 or 11?
Secondly, many times I have setup processes to transfer data from Windows to Unix. I created zip files under Windows and used tar to unpack on the Unix side. I also used super compression options and that worked too. Unfortunately, there's no substitute for testing this.
For example try:
tar xvf <Windows zip file>
Many Solaris also have 'gzip'.
You can try p7zip.
