zip large file error
 

hey,
i ws wondering if anyone knew anything about this. When i try to zip a lrge file such as one that is 3.4GB uzing Zip 2.3 i get this error

zip foo.zip foo
zip warning: name not matched: foo

zip error: Nothing to do! (foo.zip)

im running slack9 with xfs

suppose i should use bzip2 or something, but i want zip, its faster :cry:

A 3.4 GB file. :eek:
That is big... :D

If you get that error message, it is because the file foo does not exist in the current directory.

ohh trust me its in the same directory, thats why i was confused about the error, something like this file is to large to zip would be more helpful

i tried gzip and it works fine

Yes, that is true.
Zip has some size restrictions. :(

I always forget about that.
Now I remember why I stopped using Zip. :p

its nice and fast though, ohh well
