can't zip large files 2gb >

[David Banning]

I have replace my memory. It didn't make any difference.

root# gunzip *ian_mail*
gunzip: 3s1.com-ian_mail-full-20070503-0105AM.1.tgz: 
invalid compressed data--format violated
root# 

and another way;

root# tar tzf *ian_mail*

lists most files in the tgz, then terminates with;

...
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
root#
