I'm looking for a free alternative to split files into .partXX files. I know this can be accomplished through rar, but it's a shareware and I was wondering if there's a free alternative that accomplishes the same job.
the VBO file that i want to burn into a dvd is around 7.9 gb. i want to know if it's possible to split them in order to burn the files into two diferent dvds.
I am using rsync to create rotating snapshot style backups of my web files and sending them via SSH to a remote location in order to burn them for offsite storage. This is all working perfect. The remote machine is a Windows Server 2003 which has data that I combine with my web files before burning. I have cygwin installed on the remote server in order to archive and compress the entire backup using tar. (This is not a post about cygwin, I just thought I would mention it in case anyone was wondering how I was running Linux commands after transferring it to the Windows box). After compression, the backup is over 12gb. The next step in my process is to split this tar.gz file into smaller chunks in order to burn them to DVDs. I use dual layer DVDs which are 8.5gb storage size.
I also use cygwin to split the tar.gz into multiple 2gb files using the split command. When I burn them, I only put 3 files on each disk totaling 6gb to leave some padding in case this was a problem. The burn completes and says successful, although it errors out when in verification. I have tried this multiple times and it seems to fail verification at the same point every time which leads me to believe that it has something to do with the data. I have also done tests such as creating smaller backups with completely different data and brning that to a CD-R which worked fine, so I'm convinced this process can work, I just cant get it to work in the right situation. I have also tried burning one of the 7 split files to a dual DVD which also worked fine. I'm wondering if their is a chunk of data that is causing this problem in one of the other split files?
im trying to reconstruct / extract a file that was too large to fit onto a floppy, used 7zip to create and split the file into multiple parts in tar.bzip format. this was done in windows. Then moved all the parts of the file to tiny linux on a really old laptop. no cd drive, no usb or network. so have to rely on floppy drive. i do know that reconstruction while extracting using commands is possible. but not working.tried tar -xMf file.tar.001 but nothing.
I'm trying to upload my tar'ed site to server but I have upload limit. My ftp program extracts tar after uploading it. How do I split this one tar into two so I could upload one tar and let it extract itself, and then upload second one and let it extract itself too?
I have a file of +1 1GB in size. I want to split it in either 100MB rar files or 100MB zip files.
Anybody know what command I need for this?
Please keep it simple, I'm very new to linux. So I'm hoping somebody can give me a command in the lines of "blabla "put file name here" "put file size here" "put folder to rar/zip" here.
i have noticed that if right click on many files types for instance iso files i don't have the option to store them in compress files at all i have one iso file now that i want to compress and split to three parts so i could upload it but as i said right click on the file don't helpbecause i don't have the option there so what can i do?
I have a log file on ubuntu 10.04 that has 500 lines of log data in it. What command could I use in a terminal to split the single 500-line file into generate ten files each with 50-lines of log files each?
Rather simple question, but is there a way to make an archive (simple tarball, no compression needed) out of a very large file and split it into parts? Basically I need a ~1GB file in 25MB pieces.
I have a file with 5 columns. Column 4 contains numbers.Is it possible to split the file into multiple files using a condition for the contents of column 4 i.e if column 4 contains a value between 0-10 then print the lines to a new file called less_than_10.txt
I am downloading a set of files that were split by a program called ffsj

I have been googling it, but I am not finding anything that is telling me how I might join these files using my CentOS Linux. How can I join these files using CentOS?
streaming videos i sometime want to save them, after watching. generally they're saved as flash videos or mpeg-4 video, which is all fine.however periodically they're split-up and saved in smaller chunks with names like data_1, data_2, data_3 etc. these range from 14.0 - 44.0 MB. the file in question (currently i'm trying to save from the cache) was from divxden, or possibly divxstage.eu either way i think it used the totem plugin.so, my question is: does anyone know if these files can be stuck back together, or if this feature can be changed so streamed files are kept intact?
I need to split up a large file on windows so I can upload it in parts to a linux machine. I'm looking to do the opposite to this hopefully with some native utilities to keep it simple.
I understand the linux side of the equation to be cat filea fileb > file
what is the simples way to split files on a windows machine which can then be joined together via cat on a linux machine?
I am backing up parts of my computer with DD, and i was wondering if there was a quick way to split the files created into 4.4GB sized files that will fit onto a DVD. Anyone have any idea of how to do this?
I used split -b 32m "file.bz2" "file.bz2.part-" to split a file and it created more than 50 parts. From googling, the way I found to reassemble the parts is to cat file.bz2.part-aa file.bz2.part-ab > file.bz2, while enumerating all the 50+ parts. Is there an easier way to reassemble the parts wherein I no longer need to list all those parts explicitly?
Today encoders are getting smarter. They can compress Blu ray similar quality in 700MB. It seems header of video file contain info about frame rate, audio/video encoder etc. which can't be guessed. In MPEG audio , every part of file is independently playable. If a movie is binary split into 6 parts & I don't have the first part then it is unplayable.
Code: example ls -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 280M 2010-12-07 20:23 irn2-cd1.mkv -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50M 2011-05-26 13:09 last-50M-cd2 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50M 2011-05-26 13:44 first-50M-cd1 file * first-50M-cd1: Matroska data last-50M-cd2: data irn2-cd1.mkv: Matroska data
How can I split my local mail box into an individual files for each mail. The senario of mine is I fetch some emails from a mail server into my local linux box with fetchmail command but I want each fetched mail in a different indivitual file for easy file processing and manipulation for example sending those email through sms and so on
Did you know that while in Nautilus 2.30.1 using Ubuntu 10.04 you can have split-pane by pressing the F3 key. You can copy files from one to the other. Here is a little video howto from LJ. [URL]
I recently downloaded a program to find out it was in pieces. What I originally conceived as being a small problem has turned into a major time wasting dilemma.
I've tried many different things to get it to properly extract, viewing threads on these forums even, but to no avail.
The files were named: file.part01.rar file.part02.rar etc.
I though this was the problem so I renamed all 84 files (except the first one), removing the .rar extension. No cigar.
My final attempt of several was using 7zip:
Code: 7z x myArchive.rar -o/home/[username]/Desktop
I was in the correct folder as far as I could tell.
I have included a screenshot of the files in order to stop any confusion about my description.
How do i install ubuntu so that only the OS itself (hope you get what i mean) is on my C: drive and other files like applications etc is on my D:drive? I use a raptor on 74gb which is faster but smaller than a normal hdd that will also contain windows 7 and crunchbang so I just want the main parts of the OS on that hdd. If it's not possible on install, which maps should be moved from the C: drive to the D: drive if i want all applications and such on the D: drive? And how do i configure so futur installations from synaptic or the apt-get command install files on the D
For reasons best known to itself, the Ubuntu 10.10 installation programme created two drives when it put my favourite OS back on the existing partition (which had become inaccessible). One is 20GB, the other 12GB. The former appears to contain the programmes that run the current distro (boot, root, etc. and so on). The latter has all my personal stuff (text files, pics, music etc.) I don't much care about this dichotomy, it works after all. But there is a part of me that says that this is all a bit untidy, that the right thing to do would be to merge the contents into one. The rest of me says, "don't rock the boat." Is it possible to merge them? Should I do it? How might I do it?
Is there any way to split partition, in which my ubuntu 11.04 is.I don't wanna loose data, but I dont wanna reinstall it too.P.S. Now I have 750gb HDD, I want to split off 100gb~ for dual boot win7
