cli-tarHow can I fix an unexpected end of file error when compressing a file with tar and gzip?
An unexpected end of file error when compressing a file with tar and gzip can be fixed by using the --ignore-failed-read
option. This option allows tar to ignore any unreadable files and continue processing the archive.
For example:
tar --ignore-failed-read -czf archive.tar.gz /path/to/files/
The command above will create an archive called archive.tar.gz
which will contain all the files in /path/to/files/
directory.
The parts of the command are:
tar
: the command to create archives--ignore-failed-read
: the option to ignore unreadable files-czf
: the options to create a gzip compressed tar archivearchive.tar.gz
: the name of the archive/path/to/files/
: the path to the directory containing the files to be archived
For more information about the tar
command, see GNU tar Manual.
