From: xtomasej@fel.cvut.cz (Jan Tomasek) Subject: bzip2 and pipes? 6 Oct 1998 20:21:07 -0700 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com Hi, I found that bzip2 is best available compress program. But seams that it doesn't work with pipe. I type this: tar cvf - SemTel |bzip2 -9vv >pokus.bz2 File was compressed, no error but if I try test it. bzip2 -tvv pokus.bz2 I receive this: pokus.bz2: block [1: huff+mtf (Q:\USR\LOCAL\BIN\EXE\BZIP2.EXE 1039) Exception: STATUS_A CCESS_VIOLATION bzip2: Caught a SIGSEGV or SIGBUS whilst decompressing, which probably indicates that the compressed data is corrupted. Input file = pokus.bz2, output file = (none) It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted. You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files. You can use the 'bzip2recover' program to *attempt* to recover data from undamaged sections of corrupted files. May I'm doing something wrong can me someone help please?
