2. @/cdocs>gunzip -l omcran_r31_v0_91_helpfiles.tar.gz

 

Result:

compressed        uncompressed  ratio uncompressed_name

25826218            85349888    69.7% omcran_r31_v0_91_helpfiles.tar

 

So the free space required to gunzip is 81Mb

 

/cdocs:lz>df -kh /cdocs

Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on

/cdocs                 610M   416M   139M    75%    /cdocs

/cdocs:lz>gunzip omcran_r31_v0_91_helpfiles.tar.gz

 

gunzip: omcran_r31_v0_91_helpfiles.tar: No space left on device

/cdocs:lz>

 

Even though we have 139Mb free space we got no space left on device
error.

 

Your quick help on this will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Best regards,
