[SOLVED] .tar file options

chris_crunch · 02-23-2016, 02:52 AM

There's a file on my computer known as

Code:

ILSVRC2012_img_train(0)(0)(0).tar

Now I guess I could unpack it with

Code:

tar xvf ILSVRC2012_img_train(0)(0)(0).tar

But is there a better way to do this? This seems to be taking ages, spewing the files all over the current directory...

how big is that file? Actually the command tar is used to handle those files, so there is no better way. But it also depends on the speed of the underlying filesystem.

It's a... pretty big. I think it contains a lot of tar files...

Code:

chris@chris-crunch:~/apps/caffe-master/IMAGENET/training_data$ tar xvf ILSVRC2012_img_train\(0\)\(0\)\(0\).tar 
n01440764.tar
n01443537.tar
n01484850.tar
n01491361.tar
n01494475.tar
n01496331.tar
n01498041.tar
n01514668.tar
n01514859.tar
n01518878.tar
n01530575.tar
n01531178.tar
n01532829.tar
n01534433.tar
n01537544.tar
...
...

There's loads of these. Loads...

I've rapidly hit this problem:

Code:

 tar: n12144580.tar: Cannot write: No space left on device

Hmmm...?

Hahaha, damn it. What now...
I guess I could somehow put them into data1. how?

Code:

 chris@chris-crunch:~/apps/caffe-master/IMAGENET$ sudo cp training_data/ /data1/IMAGENET/
cp: omitting directory ‘training_data/’

What- Never mind. I place the -r after copy. Okay, this is taking a while to copy... Hehe

see man tar
tar -C <your preferred dir> -xvf <full path to your tar file>
