RE: Failure to compress archive logs over 100M

Agree though earlier versions of Gzip have 2GB problems...

use gzip and see. Much better than compress. I never observed any problem.

I just started getting hundreds of the following messages:

/ora_archive/ptxor01/arch_log/ptxor01_1_17484.arc: -- file unchanged

It appears to only come from a failed attempt to compress an archive log which is

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 104858112 Jul 3 04:07 ptxor01_1_17484.arc

over 100M in size

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 71110623 Jul 6 07:11 ptxor01_1_17544.arc.Z

logs under 100M compress just fine.

Using a -f switch with the compress will compress the log, but the compressed file is larger than the original file. I have not seen this behavior before from compress. Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.
