Hi,
I was doing a backup of a NFS partition (about 300 MB) using zip but I got the
error:
Zip error: Out of memory (allocating temp filename)
I've tried to find some information but I was unable. Since I've used zip to
compress SMB partitions over 1 GB I don't believe that it can be a "size"
problem. I've tried to specify the temporary directory with the -b flag, but
nothing changed. On my disk I've got about 11 GB of free space, so have you
any idea or suggestion about this problem?
Thanks,
Luca
Hi, Luca:
Show us exactly what you did (the exact command line).
Show us the free space of your 'cwd' and your temporary directory.
Show us the size of the partition you are trying to backup.
Perhaps you could run 'watch -d df' on another console and see
what directory is getting 'Out of memory' or
your could run 'free -s 9' on another console to see if you
are running out of RAM memory.
Hope this helps, Chuck
