My machine runs Debian 6.0.7
and I have Zip 3.0 (July 5th 2008), by Info-ZIP
.
When I try to unzip a .zip file, 2~3 times out of 10 it would not extract everything. There would be 2-3 files missing.
At first I thought it was because of the file size and some limitations I didn't know but then I noticed it was doing that with small files of 150MB as well. Then i thought maybe it was because I was decompressing it through a bash script file so I tested with manually unzipping the files and again that wasn't the problem.
Finally today I checked it with a 140MB .zip file. I extracted the file both manually and using my .sh script 10 times and after each time I would run ls -h -R > ../test_n.txt
to keep a record of the folder after each decompression. After comparing all 20 files I saw that 7 out of 20 times it would miss from 2 to 8 files from the .zip file.
Anybody has any idea why this might be happening?
.zip
file that shows this problem and post it on some file sharing site so some of us may download it and test it ourselves?
