When packaging a folder with tar in a ibm-aix5.3, an error is reported: Tar: 0511-194 reached end-of-file before expected.

Command: tar-CVF/tmp/sybase12503.tar/Sybase/sybase12x

 

Solution:

 

If you run ulimit-F, the returned result is 2097151, indicating that the system limits the file size to 2097151*512 = 1g.

Check the/tmp/sybase12503.tar file that is not successfully packaged. The size of the file is exactly 1073741312 (bytes ).

 

You can modify/Etc/security/limits

File fsize to set to unlimited:

Default: <br/> fsize =-1 <br/>To enable /Etc/security/limits

File changes take effect. You must log off the current logon session and log on again. After you log on again, run ulimit-A and the returned result is unlimited. At this time, the change has taken effect, and there is no limit on the file size that users can use. However
