Re: how do I extract a 2.6 gigabyte .tar.gz file ?
I also realized that the mcopy from mtools could be used to copy to
stdout, and that it, in any case, would not stop for a ^Z, so I tried it,
but it had the same problme. Here's the output (which stops extracting at
about 1.2gb):
root@darxus:~$ mcopy c:/linux/home.tgz - | tar -ztvf - > home.idx
file read: Success
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Archive - EOF not on block boundary
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
