I first used zip 2.32-2 then saw a suggestion that 2.3-6 might work so it is currently installed. Both exhibit the same problem.
Because the output file gets deleted when it fails, I don't know exactly the size, I only know that it seems to be about the same size. The last time I reproduced the problem, I did a series of ls commands to show the size. Here's what that looks like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/h/FUNC/b20070514/oracle $ /bin/ls -l zi0BYQi1 -rw-r--r-- 1 linus.hicks Domain Users 2364633493 May 16 15:46 zi0BYQi1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/h/FUNC/b20070514/oracle $ /bin/ls -l zi0BYQi1 -rw-r--r-- 1 linus.hicks Domain Users 2372563349 May 16 15:46 zi0BYQi1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/h/FUNC/b20070514/oracle $ /bin/ls -l zi0BYQi1 -rw-r--r-- 1 linus.hicks Domain Users 2379051413 May 16 15:46 zi0BYQi1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/h/FUNC/b20070514/oracle $ /bin/ls -l zi0BYQi1 -rw-r--r-- 1 linus.hicks Domain Users 2386243989 May 16 15:46 zi0BYQi1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/h/FUNC/b20070514/oracle $ /bin/ls -l zi0BYQi1 -rw-r--r-- 1 linus.hicks Domain Users 2391912853 May 16 15:46 zi0BYQi1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/h/FUNC/b20070514/oracle $ /bin/ls -l zi0BYQi1 -rw-r--r-- 1 linus.hicks Domain Users 2397417877 May 16 15:46 zi0BYQi1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/h/FUNC/b20070514/oracle $ /bin/ls -l zi0BYQi1 -rw-r--r-- 1 linus.hicks Domain Users 2402398613 May 16 15:46 zi0BYQi1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/h/FUNC/b20070514/oracle $ /bin/ls -l zi0BYQi1 /bin/ls: cannot access zi0BYQi1: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/h/FUNC/b20070514/oracle $ And here's what happens running zip: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/i/oracle/FUNC $ zip -r1 /cygdrive/h/FUNC/b20070514/oracle/functest.zip db/apps_st adding: db/apps_st/ (stored 0%) adding: db/apps_st/data/ (stored 0%) adding: db/apps_st/data/APPS_TS_TOOLS01.DBF (deflated 99%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_ARCHIVE01.DBF (deflated 98%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_INT01.DBF (deflated 94%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_MEDIA01.DBF (deflated 86%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_NOLOG01.DBF (deflated 99%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_QUEUE01.DBF (deflated 99%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_QUEUE02.DBF (deflated 99%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_REF01.DBF (deflated 80%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_REF02.DBF (deflated 87%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_SUMM01.DBF (deflated 98%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_TXN_DATA01.DBF (deflated 91%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_TXN_DATA02.DBF (deflated 90%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_TXN_DATA03.DBF (deflated 93%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_TXN_IND01.DBF (deflated 83%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_TXN_IND02.DBF (deflated 86%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_TXN_IND03.DBF (deflated 85%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_TXN_IND04.DBF (deflated 86%) adding: db/apps_st/data/A_TXN_IND05.DBF (deflated 87%) adding: db/apps_st/data/CNTRL01.DBF (deflated 99%) adding: db/apps_st/data/CNTRL02.DBF (deflated 99%) adding: db/apps_st/data/CNTRL03.DBF (deflated 99%) adding: db/apps_st/data/CTXD01.DBF (deflated 87%) adding: db/apps_st/data/INTERIM.DBF (deflated 99%) adding: db/apps_st/data/LOG01A.DBF zip I/O error: Invalid argument zip error: Input file read failure (was zipping db/apps_st/data/LOG01A.DBF) [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/i/oracle/FUNC $ I know zip and other programs are able to read the file indicated above as having a read error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/i/oracle/FUNC $ zip -r1 /cygdrive/h/FUNC/b20070514/oracle/functest.zip db/apps_st/data/LOG0* adding: db/apps_st/data/LOG01A.DBF (deflated 71%) adding: db/apps_st/data/LOG01B.DBF (deflated 71%) adding: db/apps_st/data/LOG02A.DBF (deflated 70%) adding: db/apps_st/data/LOG02B.DBF (deflated 70%) [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/i/oracle/FUNC $ I have tried zipping a different set of files and got the same failure, but I did not capture information on the size of the archive file it created beyond it being in the vicinity of 2gb. The size of the output file is close to 2gb but greater than that, so this problem seems different than the 2gb filesize limit. I am wondering if others are able to create large archives and maybe there is something unique about my situation. Any help would be appreciated. I am attaching the output from cygcheck. Linus
