amazon ec2 - Decompressed gziped file disappears? -


i have amazon ec2 instance running centos. unfortunately don't have gui. tried setting x11 forwarding apparently works differently ubuntu centos. thats not point. download pretty large .gz file (8.7gb) , extracted using following command:

gzip -d [filename] & 

it took hour decompress, , using ls -l see uncompressed directory going 30 gb. anyway process finishes , when ls again directory no found. tried ls -a still nothing. thoughts on this?

this sounds gzip silently failing when runs out of space. how large instance's ebs volume / local disk you're unzipping onto? (run df -h , figure out device you're unzipping in.)

additionally try run gzip in verbose mode catch errors might not showing. don't have centos machine handy, might able use gzip -l [filename] figure out whether file big target directory.
