Hi Pete, Thank you for your suggestion. I'm using gzip 1.3 and gunzip 1.3 on a VFS file system. I'm having problems with practically all big files. The files are corrupted without ever leaving the Linux machine. For trouble-shooting with WinZip, I transferred some files to Windows using Samba.
The exact error message reads as: gunzip: MX.mat.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error Your filter suggestion is great. It works, although, I'm still getting the error message: gzip: stdin: invalid compress data--crc error Thank you, Kevin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Peter Jay Salzman Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 9:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [vox-tech] gzip bug? hi kevin, stream of consciousness: are you saying ALL files on redhat can't be gunzipped? or only particular files? was this file transfered using windows ftp or http? perhaps it went through a NL/CR conversion? faulty kermit transfer? where was the file created? under a vfat system or under a VFS (linux) system? try to use gzip as a filter: gzip -d <myfile.gz >myfile this will unzip as far as gzip can go before reaching the CRC error. it might recover some of your data. also, can you post the exact error message (always a good thing to do when asking for help when something complains!) can you post gzip's version number and mail me (not the list) a copy of the file you're trying to unzip? i'll give it go here. pete begin Kevin Dawson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi, > > I cannot gunzip my gzipped files on RedHat 7.1.
