I want to extract a huge .tar.gz file but when I do extract it stalls the server. The server is write heavy and extracting seems to choke the disk. Is there a nice way to extract without stopping the world? I've tried the 'nice' and 'cpulimit' command but they don't seem to do the trick.

How can I unzip this file if it's too big?
I made an 8GB password protected Zip file on Ubuntu 10.10, sent it to a friend who's using Windows 7, and now she can't unzip it. The file transfer speeds between us are very slow, so I don't want to resend it. Every application she's tried (WinRAR, WinZip, and 7Zip) fails and gives some sort of "invalid archive format" error.
I had her do an MD5 checksum on the file and it matches mine. So, the likelihood of it being damaged during transmission is very small. I also successfully unzipped it on my end and used TeamViewer to try and get it unzipped on her end, just to make sure she wasn't doing anything wrong, she wasn't.
What could be the problem be UbuntuForums? Is there a difference in the way Windows and Linux handles zip files that is causing this problem?
I am facing an issue, while unzipping an UNIX ZIpped file. The message I am getting is as below.

End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of np_ARUDDP99_20110201.zip or np_ARUDDP99_20110201.zip.zip, and cannot find np_ARUDDP99_20110201.zip.ZIP, period.
I have a huge log file of around 3.5 GB and would like to sample random sections in the middle of say 10 MB for the purpose of debugging what my application is doing.
I could use head or tail commands to get the beginning or end of the file, how can I grab an arbitrary portion from the middle of the file? I guess I could do something like head -n 1.75GB | tail -n 10MB but that seems clumsy and I'd need to determine line numbers for the midpoint of the file to get 1.75GB and 10MB line counts.
I've a file with a size of 6GB. I would like to compress this file and split them into smaller files. I was also thinking in use bzip2 to compress it, because if offers a good compression rate. How can I split this file into small ones to compress it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to read the /proc/net/tcp6 file of a huge server (chat server) for monitoring the tcp6 connection states.
This tcp6 file has more than 26000 lines. For monitoring the server connections, my monitoring tool has to read the /proc/net/tcp6 file quickly in regular interval. Presently it takes minimum 6-7 seconds for reading the whole file.
My tool can able to read the normal file (26,000 lines) less than 1 second, but it is not possible to read the same size of proc file.
I have 2 questions:
1) Why proc file takes more read time than normal file?
2) Is there any way to read the /proc/net/tcp6 file more quickly?

There are some scripts that you can see as "php /var/www/html/call_engine.php ..." that are consuming CPU more than I expect and I will correct, but I would like to know about the other processes like many crond or the "/usr/sbin/sendmail -FCronDaemon -i -odi -oem -oi -t". Or maybe the whole problem would be the php script?
