    Thanks Igor for answering to question 2, but questions 1 and 3 remain unanswered. Question 1 is related to command line 7zip (Linux has it's temp folders in /tmp, /var/tmp, MacOS - echo $TMPDIR).

  • mdadm mdadm posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    I have some questions about usage temp folder by 7-zip: Is 7zip console use temp folder for any operation on Windows/Mac/Linux? For what operations 7-zip is using temp folder? What will happen when empty space in temp folder will end when 7-zip will be using it, for example: a) 7-zip will open big archive (but didn't end this operation) and temp and partition space will also end? b) 7-zip will open big archive (and end this operation), but will be updating this archive and temp and partition space...

    Default compression algorithms used by 7-Zip are: - zip: deflate (zip may be compressed by not standard algorithm ppmd - good for text files) - 7z: lzma or lzma2 - tar: alone don't use any compression, it just group directories and folders in uncompressed archive, but may be in variants: - tar.gz or tgz: tar archive compressed by gzip - tar.bz or tbz: tar archive compressed by bzip2 - tar.xz or txz: tar archive compressed by xz (lzma or lzma2) - tar.*, etc.: tar archive may be compressed by any compressor:...

    Nevermind: I found solution what I was looking for: 7z l /dev/sdb1 | less 7z e /dev/sdb1 '-ir!dir/file' 7z e /dev/sdb1 '-ir!dir/*' /dev/sdb1 is not mounted! I wonder if it works for APFS, but I won't check - I don't have disk with that fs. Update: Ok, this also works and is simplier: 7z e /dev/sdb1 'dir/file' 7z e /dev/sdb1 'dir/*' Thanks Igor for your effort!

    I know how to view directories and files on device by command run as root: "7zz l /dev/sda | less", but how to extract from command line single file or directory containing file(s) from device with filesystem supported by 7-zip (like ext4) but which can not mounted on Linux?

  • mdadm mdadm posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    Leave powershell, work in cmd.exe.

  • mdadm mdadm posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    Do in cmd: "7z.exe l archive" to see if there is something interesting (I believe that it does not write anything to temp). Install some RamDisk program, create ramdisk, asign drive letter and extract that archive to that ramdisk through cmd command or in gui, but don't do drag-drop to extract. as it extract temporary to temp.

    I did some tests some time ago with Winrar and rar4/5 archives with this additional information for repairing/restoring archives. I modified/changed some part of archive, smaller (1 or few bits) or bigger in different part of archive in hex editor. Only one change at a time. The tests showed that even Winrar rar5 archive with recovery record is not so reliable as one think. It all depends in which part of file and how much bits are changed.

    Now done on CPU frequency scaling governor "performance". CPU frequency was stable. I used default governor schedutil because of powersafe reasons.

  • mdadm mdadm posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    First my questions: 1) What it means: "CPU hardware threads: 2 / 4 : 3" ? 2) What it means: "OPEN_MAX:1024" ? This CPU has only 2 cores, no ht, no threads. I can check this in multiple ways and it returns only 2 cores (cat /proc/cpuinfo, lscpu, top, htop, getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN). nproc returns 2, but nproc --all returns 4 (don't ask me why, but this probably is also incorrect for other cpus). As for frequency I have set default CPU scaling governor schedutil and 1200 MHz is mostly all the tim...

    What do you meen by "connect archives and folders as virtual disks"? What do have archives to virtual disks? The simplest solution would be to create iso file and mount it.

  • mdadm mdadm posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    This is in bash console, similar would be in win cmd: for d in */ ; do 7z a -mx9 video.7z * ; done

  • mdadm mdadm posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    If it is something like "filename.7z.001" ... "filename.7z.NNN then you can view, combine and extract it only by extracting the first file "filename.7z.001". If after extraction you have multiple files and still want to combine them then see my previous post about console commands.

  • mdadm mdadm posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    You can not extract files other that what they were before compression, but you can combine them in console (number them so you have right sequence): - on Windows in cmd.exe: copy /b file1+file2+file3 output_file - on Linux and maybe macOS in bash and maybe other shells: cat file* > output_file

    According to afio manual, cpio should extract it; in console 7z i also displays cpio, so it should decompress.

  • mdadm mdadm posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    Is 7z command line version also use temp folder? Is option -w needed when large archive is extracted and we don't want to use c:\temp directory?

  • mdadm mdadm posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    You may try smartversion (or rsync) to effectively "synchronize" large remote folders. Smartversion have executables for multiple OSs.

  • mdadm mdadm posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    7z l archive.7z or 7z l -slt archive.7z for all files in archive. For archives with many files: 7z l -slt archive.7z | less

    Some of antivirus producers and some individuals which are analyzing ransomware and it's weaknesses sometimes produce tools to extract that encrypted content. Search that on internet. But you have to find out what ransomware you were infected. Look for and match any signs of infection on device, how encrypted files are named, compare hashes of malware remnants to hashes in ransomware analysis, etc.

    What are 7-Zip archive limits: max 7z and zip archive size, max file number in archive, max directory length in archive. Does this limits depend by chosen algorithm (lzma(2), deflate, ppmd) or solid, non-solid archive? Anything more that one need to know or take into account before creating huge archive?

    No password protect by default, as this would require to store password somewhere in the system and that would be less secure (even storing it as a hash has some kind of risk). Instead when you want to create encrypted archive you have to every time write your unique password. Choose AES encryption as it is stronger than zipcrypto.

I have to terminate 7-zip process. Maybe m$ messed something with one of their updates? I installed win7 on newer drive and I remember there was some update to win7 that chaneged something about reading win xp partitions. But with other partitions on that drive it works + work on win7 hdd partitions.

    Yes, that is the idea of any packing/compress program like 7-Zip. You may use any extension (for example 7z, zip, xz, etc.), any level of compression, and any method of compression (LZMA, PPMd, Deflate, etc.) and compress and then uncompress file(s) should be the same as orginal file(s). If they are not - the program is buggy and you shouldn't use it. Why you just don't test this?
