I am experiencing a major problem. I had archived data, stored on a server. The server crashed, and the only copy of the archived data I have is on a backup file on our hard drive backup server.
The file that this data resides in is 5.6 GB, a .tgz file. when I try to perform any operation on the file, I get the error "Operation Not Permitted" or similar. the most expressive error message was from lsattr: lsattr: Operation not permitted While reading flags on /Raid/Backup.cp1/cp1/2002_Mar/03.Full.tgz file returns: /Raid/Backup.cp1/cp1/2002_Mar/03.Full.tgz: can't stat `/Raid/Backup.cp1/cp1/2002_Mar/03.Full.tgz' (Value too large for defined data type). Tar returns: [root@backup root]# tar xvfpz /Raid/Backup.cp1/cp1/2002_Mar/03.Full.tgz /etc/named.conf tar (child): /Raid/Backup.cp1/cp1/2002_Mar/03.Full.tgz: Cannot open: Operation not permitted tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: /etc/named.conf: Not found in archive tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors gzip simply returns: [root@backup root]# gzip -d /Raid/Backup.cp1/cp1/2002_Mar/03.Full.tgz gzip: /Raid/Backup.cp1/cp1/2002_Mar/03.Full.tgz: Operation not permitted I have moved this file to several boxes to try to extract it, and I've upgraded to the latest of everything, fileutils, kernel, (I just up2dated everything on the backup server, and another server which we tried to use to ensure it wasn't a problem with the backup server itself.) I have tested many other backups from this backup server, and anything smaller than this archive that I have available extracts with no problems. LMK if there is any way to get at this data.
