how to extract files from a large (30Gb+) zip file on linux server

Question

1) extract from large zip file

I want to extract files from a large zip file (30Gb+) on the linux server. There is enough free disk space.

I've tried jar xf dataset.zip. However, there's an error that push button is full, and it failed to extract all of the files.

I tried unzip, but zipfile corrupt.

Archive:  dataset.zip 
warning [dataset.zip]:  35141564204 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile
(attempting to process anyway)
error [dataset.zip]:  start of central directory not found;
zipfile corrupt.
 (please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the
appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled UnZip properly)

I tried zip -FF dataset.zip --out data.zip, and there's an error that entry too big:

zip error: Entry too big to split, read, or write (Poor compression resulted in unexpectedly large entry - try -fz)

Is there anyway I can efficiently extract files from really large zip file?

2) extract certain files from a large zip file

If I only want some certain files from this large zip file, is there anyway I can extract only these files? For example, data1.txt from dataset.zip? It seems that I can't use any zip or unzip command (always have the zipfile corrupt problem).

Thanks!

Answer 1

I've solved the problem. It turns out to be a zip corruption problem. I first fixed the file with:

zip -FF filename1.zip --out filename2.zip -fz

then unzip the fixed zipfile:

unzip filename2.zip

and have successfully extracted all the files!

Many thanks to Fattaneh Talebi for the help!

I had the similar kind of problem and it got solved by unar command.

unar file.zip
