Re: [tbox-l] Unzip does not work with .zip files greather than 2G.

[Subramani, G. <Gna...@ni...>]

Hi,

Ulimits are fine:

$ ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) 262144
stack(kbytes) 32768
memory(kbytes) 32768
coredump(blocks) unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) 8192

The problem is with unzip on aix.

If I ftp the .zip file to a linux box; I am able to list/extract its
contents using unzip.

Check value of 'fsize' in '/etc/security/limits'.  In AIX 5.3, it
defaults to 2097151 (512-byte blocks).  A value of '-1' will set it to
unlimited (you may want to throttle it to something less).
