Hi,
I tried to calculate the checksum of an TAR file. It is 27 GByte and I get the german Error:
Exception in Task: Die Arraydimensionen haben den unterstützten Bereich überschritten.
I guess the file is to big.
Let me shortly explain what I'm doing:
I have a windows machine with result files, located in directories. I want to copy these directories to an unix machine and want to make sure that the files are not corrupt after this.
So, my approach is:
1. make a tar from the directory
2. calculate checksum on source
3. copy via scp to target
4. recalculate the checksum on target
5. untar
6. done
The directories are up to 100GByte large.
In my opinion are this to questions.
First, how to calculate the checksum on windows machine for large files, and second, is it necessary to do this, or is the file copy via scp save enough?
Thanks for ideas and help
