Tar decompression gzip: stdin: not in gzip format

Tar decompression gzip: stdin: not in gzip format

As shown in the following figure, an error such as "gzip: stdin: not in gzip format" occurs when you use tar-zxvf to decompress the file:

[Root @ DB-Server tmp] #

[Root @ DB-Server tmp] # tar-zxvf Percona-XtraBackup-2.2.12-r8726828-el5-x86_64-bundle.tar

Gzip: stdin: not in gzip format

Tar: Child returned status 1

Tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

The compressed package is not compressed in gzip format, so the z parameter is not required!
