To find a low frequency failure in a production system I have
been taking periodic dumps (using phymyadmin-export) specifying
that the file be gzipped. It appears to have worked just fine.
Today I went to unzip one of the files to use it as a mysql
source on the development system so I could dig into the problem
and..
gunzip reported:
gzip: IS-2016-12-31.sql.gz: decompression OK, trailing garbage
ignored
The "trailing garbage" is the last 3/4 of the file. The gzipped
file is 17MB.
Anybody have any ideas what is going wrong and or suggestions
that I can try to recover the data.
