RESTORE PROBS

[harpal]

I am trying to restore the following file live_auditexp.dmp.Z which is following size (1221379321)

I have used the following command to restore the above file.

tar -xf /dev/rmt1 live_auditexp.dmp.Z

the problem is the restore kicks off gets very close to restoring but then I get the following error message.

tar: 0511-197 live_auditexp.dmp.Z: Cannot write data extracted with the tar command:
A file cannot be larger than the value set by ulimit.

can anybody help

What's the output from a ulimit -f command? This should tell you what the maximum file size permitted is. You could then alter this (perhaps temporarily) so that the limit is greater than the anticipated file size. Read the man page for ulimit for more info. HTH.

harpul,

Firstly,

Type : ulimit -a

f/size should be set to unlimited. If not

vi /etc/security/limits

and edit the fsize stanza to be -1

Then log out and log in for the new value to be picked up.

Hope that helps
