Dear List Members,
I don't know if this is the right mailing list. I'm using tar to create a .tgz and it seems that when the file is bigger than 2GB "gzip -l" reports the wrong uncompressed filesize and also a wrong compression ratio. So this could be a tar, gzip or a user specific problem. I'm using debian sarge on a i386. The tar Version is 1.14 and the gzip Version is 1.3.5
regards Guido
For example:
tar -czf home2test.tgz /home2/test
ll -rw-r--r-- 1 test test 3820247961 2005-04-20 15:13 home2test.tgz
gzip -l home2test.tgz
compressed uncompressed ratio uncompressed_name 3820247961 1883213824 -102.9% home2test.tar
