When I do file myDocs.bz it returns: bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k When I do tar xfj myDocs.bz it returns: bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing. tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now When I do tar xvf myDocs.bz it returns: tar: myDocs/: Cannot read: Is a directory tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now When I do bzip2 -tvv myDocs.bz to check the integrity of the file the final line of output says: [139: huff+mtf rt+rld]data integrity (CRC) error in data I've tried to use 'bzip2recover' and as far as I can tell there seems to be four blocks of corrupted data. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
