I have just installed my backup from Dell RD1000 on the platform of Red Hat enterprise version 4 with the command " tar -xzf /dev/sdc", but I got the following messages in the end of the restoring.
Quote:
gzip:stdin:decompression ok, trailing garbage ignored
tar: Child died with signal 13
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
I checked the files restored. It seems that all are there. I wonder if there is any problem with the data I have just installed. Can anyone confirm me this? Thanks a lot in advance.
SIGPIPE 13 Write on a pipe with no reader, Broken pipe (POSIX)
We know that when you specify -xz in the tar command you will actually start two processes. One will run tar, the other will run gzip to unzip the tar file. You were restoring from a file so the gzip would have been reading the tar archive and sending it to the tar utility. So evidently the tar utility exited before gzip was finished talking to it.
