I am extracting a number of .tar.gz
files using a batch script in Windows. The tar files are all different data sets and should generally have the same directory and file structure, just with different content. When I checked on the status this morning, I noticed that certain files are failing for every tar file. The error I'm seeing in the terminal is the following, and repeated for every tar file:
Folder1/data/Dictionary.dic: Can't create '\\\\?\\D:\\Full\\Path\\to the\\Folder1\\data\\Dictionary.dic'
Folder1/data/data_Dictionary.dic: Can't create '\\\\?\\D:\\Full\\Path\\to the\\Folder1\\data\\data_Dictionary.dic'
tar: Error exit delayed due to previous errors
Everything else in the repository seems to be extracting correctly, including files destined for the same folder, except for these two files. In case it matters, these files are both .dic
, which is a text file.
Any reason why these files are failing to extract? Is there a way to extract only these specific files after the fact? There's about 1.5TB of data to extract, which can take a day or two, and I don't want to have to run the whole thing again.
