How to unzip files bigger than 4GB?

Solution 1:

If you've got Java on the box, you can use

jar xf test.zip

Solution 2:

I've found good success with 7-zip, it appears they have a fedora core build as well that might work for you, the downloads can be found at http://www.7-zip.org/download.html. Failing the fedora one, you can download the source and/or binary and try that.

Solution 3:

You can either use javas jar, or (in my opinion) even better: 7-zip. Most distros allow for it to be installed from repos, so you can use for example (on ubuntu):

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
7z x huge.zip

Note how the command is not p7z or p7zip, but only 7z. Also the x option has no preceding -. Best of luck!
