UnTAR ---) Very slow
hi,
I have just extract a bunzip2 file with 722 files for a total of 9.1 mb And the time for extract was very slow...like a amd 486 DX2 66mhz extract time: about 14 minutes Cpu usage: 100% Average speed: 1mb per 2 minutes Is'it normal or not? ohh i forgot this: i use Rehat linux 9 with KDE CPU: AMD athlon (t-bird) 1300 mhz RAM: 392mb sdram pc133 crucial HDD: 7500 rpm Samsung 30 gig scsi |
Try this
/////////////////begin ripped text//////////////////// To uncompress a bzip2 file, execute the following command: bunzip2 filename.txt.bz2 (where filename.txt.bz2 is the name of the file you wish to uncompress) The result of this operation is a file called filename.txt. By default, bunzip2 will delete the filename.txt.bz2 file. ////////////////end ripped text ////////////////////////////////// from http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/basic/bz2.shtml oftentimes, it is .tar.bz2 and the following command will leave you with a whatever.tar file. If this is the case try tar -xvf whatever.tar /me shudders @ the thought of Roothat, but thats just my 3 cents |
