bzip2, a block-sorting file compressor. Version 1.0.6, 6-Sept-2010.
strange enough, i use the same bzip2 version on an rpi3 with raspbian and
it works with a 4621074432 byte iso image...
nevertheless, there are two things you can try (i didn't, so i cannot
verify that it will work!):
- read the bzip2 man page and try to compress it using pipes, e.g.
> bzip2 -c - </path/to/your/big/archive.tar
/path/to/your/compressed/archive.tar.bz2
or
- read the tar man page and create the compressed tar archive in one step,
e.g.
> tar cjf /path/to/your/compressed/archive.tar.bz2 <source>
Rather ancient for 2019 code.
old does not mean bad or even outdated. some things just serve their
purpose for a very long time w/o the need to change anything.
