tar and gzip with pipe not working

Asked by greatmich in IBM AIX Unix, Unix Operating Systems

AIX 5.3 64bit

I am having issues with backing up my Oracle Binaries on my Oracle Home prior to
upcoming upgrade.

Of course the overall directory structure is over 2GB.

I have tried using tar with a gzip pipe, but still cannot open it.

I ran the following

mknod mypipe p
gzip < mypipe > 10201.gz &
tar cvpf mypipe 10201
rm mypipe

Then I copied the file over with SCP.

When I undo all this.
mknod mypipe p
gunzip < filename.gz > mypipe &
tar xvpf mypipe
rm mypipe

I get

$ mknod mypipe p
$ gunzip <10201.gz> mypipe &

$ tar xvpf mypipe

Smaller sized files work fine. Any thoughts?
