- by Arunjith
Problem definition:
I transferred a tar.gz file from a Linux machine to a Windows partition.The Windows partition has mounted with the Linux server as cifs.
OS : Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5
Symptom:
After the copy process is successful, doing an integrity check with gunzip -t and
the process get the following error:
gunzip -t Backup-28--Jun--2011--Tuesday.tar.gz
gunzip: Backup-28--Jun--2011--Tuesday.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--format violated
And further tried to untar (tar -xvzf) and the process as well is failed.
