I've a data_or.tar.bz file
I tried to extract it with
$ tar xjvf data_or.tar.bz
Output is
bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Can only bz2
files be extracted with tar
command?
-- update
$ file data_or.tar.bz
data_or.tar.bz: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
2maybe it was wrongly named? if you feel lucky try
tar xzvf ...
ortar xvf ...
- otherwise maybe a look into the head may reveal details. – bdecaf – 2011-11-29T10:14:58.6035Try
file data_or.tar.bz
which should tell you if the file is simply a mis-named archive of a different type. – Mokubai – 2011-11-29T10:18:07.917@Mokubai [lease see updated question – Mithun Sreedharan – 2011-11-29T10:31:13.093
