Hi folks,

hope anyone can point me in the right direction on this one.

I'm having trouble unzipping a mysqldump on a 32-bit Suse9.2 machine. The same file on a 64-bit Suse9.3 unzippes just fine. I'm using the same version of unzip (5.5.1) beside that on the 64-bit machine it is linked against glibc 3.3.5 instead of 3.3.4 on the 32-bit.

The error message is somehting like "disk error (Probably disk is full) Continue? Y/N/^C.

After continuing with y it tells me that it has a bad CRC. (And the disk has space for tripple the size)

What brings me to believe that it's a filesize problem is that the same mysqldump unzippes fine when it comes near the 2G but not over. I'm using ext3 as a filesystem.

Can anyone tell me how to find out what my max filesize is and if it is a filesize problem how to solve it?

I solved the problem by using tar with the bz2 option and everything works fine.
Anyways it would be nice if someone could explain to me why unzipp does not work.
