uncompress and extract tar.Z file issue

user594143Feb 1 2008 — edited Feb 1 2008
Does anybody could help me on how to properly and untar files in with tar.Z extension.
Looks like files where tar with gtar utility and compressed on top of it. (O/S AIX)

I used following method to uncompress and extract actual file and some files worked but large files (> 10 G) give me trouble

Here is my example:
uncompress data1.dbf.tar.Z
##This creates data1.dbf tar file
tar -xvf data1.dbf.tar

This gives me following message

x data1.dbf, -2594003015419476674 bytes, -5066412139491164 tape blocks

and creates 0 byte data1.dbf file
