zip i/o error - compressing files using cron task - Raidiator 4.2.26 (27)
Hello. I need to backup shared folders, so i logged in through ssh and made a couple of scripts to zip shares and remove obsolete archives, but i have a problem there:
...
adding: c/proj/WIP/WP_TASKS/ARCHIVE 2015/08-2015/28-08-15_6.xlsx (deflated 90%)
adding: c/proj/WIP/WP_TASKS/ARCHIVE 2015/08-2015/21-08-15_7.xlsx
zip I/O error: File too large
zip error: Output file write failure (write error on zip file)
chmod: cannot access ‘/c/backups/proj//proj-08-08-16-22-49-40.zip’: No such file or directory
Looks like there is no disk space available, huh? It was the first thing i've checked:
abacus:/c/backups/proj# df -H
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0 4.3G 2.1G 2.1G 51% /
tmpfs 17k 0 17k 0% /USB

/USB/USB_HDD_1 3.1T 1.8T 1.3T 59% /home/ftp/USB_HDD_1
Zip is crashing when compressed file is reached 1000Mb. I don't know, why - are there any quotas or other limitations for root?
abacus:/c/backups/proj# ls -l -h
total 1000M

It's likely i wouldn't meet such problem with compressed tar, but I strongly prefer ZIP, because of its internal structure, i mean, it takes a whole eternity to just take a peek into TAR.GZ.

Not sure what the limitations for this are. Could be available RAM or some other restriction. Legacy desktop x86 ReadyNAS came with 1GB RAM.
What's the output of this?:

Surely NAS isn't the most resourceful computer, but i remember times when an ancient Celeron with 256 Mb RAM and Windows was pretty able with hundred-gigabytes compression tasks.
