So I want to decompress my something.gz file. Whenever I try to do this by using gunzip it ends after a little while saying there was an unexpected end of the file. The file itself is about 4gb.
Would appreciate any help regarding this problem.
Command: gunzip < db-20180518060048.sql.gz > db-20180518060048.sql
Response: gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
Ends at: ('250
You have to use -d to decompress:
Your command would be:
gunzip -d db-20180518060048.sql.gz
Edit due to comment:
To test validity of your archive you can run
gunzip -t db-20180518060048.sql.gz
-t --test test compressed file integrity
The correct is only no output. Any other means that your archive is damaged.
