RE: problem with gunzip <No space left on device>

[Biradar, Prabhulingamma \(Prabha\)]

Hi Vitaly,

Thanks so much for your reply, with / having 87M free the gunzip was
working fine. But with /cdocs partition even though we have 139M  free
it was failing.

/:lz>df -kh /
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
/                      963M   819M    87M    91%    /
/:lz>gunzip -l omcran_r31_v0_92_helpfiles.tar.gz
         compressed        uncompressed  ratio uncompressed_name
           25437089            85783552  70.3%
omcran_r31_v0_92_helpfiles.tar
/:lz>gunzip omcran_r31_v0_92_helpfiles.tar.gz
/:lz>echo $?
0
/:lz>



Thanks,
Prabha
