Sorry for the delay in this summary. Many thanks to all with their
solutions on this. Richard Skelton and LS identified the problem...I needed
to build a large file aware version of gzip. Thanks to LS for providing the
compiled version (64 bits mode with large file support) which worked
perfectly. Here's my original post:
Hello,is going on, and
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
how to compress this directory? Thanks, and results will be posted._______________________________________________
