Problem on decompressing files

satimis · 08-23-2006, 04:09 AM

Hi folks,

FC5

On running following comand to decompress files on a mounted DVD

$ tar zxpf AAA.tar.bz2 --same-owner -C /home/user/

Code:

tar: Skipping to next header

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error
tar: Child returned status
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

$ tar zxpf BBB.tar.bz2 --same-owner -C /home/user/

Code:

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

There were other similar compressed files on the DVD . The above command worked on them without problem.

Kindly advise.

TIA

B.R.

"tar xjpf" works

Hi BiThian,

Tks for your advice.

Oh I committed a serious typing mistake on decompressing the first 2 files mentioned. Others have no problem because I typed the options correctly.
