Sorry, I was forgetting that gzip, bzip2, lzma, xz and friends default to compressing/decompressing in place, (i.e. overwriting the original file with the compressed/decompressed content). In that case, for transformation in either direction, of course the original file needs to be writeable, so it can be removed after successful conversion. I *always* use these tools in the stdout redirecting form, e.g.: bunzip2 -c enwiki.bz2 > enwiki so the issue doesn't arise, (and I don't lose the original file). I guess your -k option has a similar effect. _____________________________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this topic or entire forum.
