I just received this message from the author: ----- This is due to an unfortunate limitation of the gzip 1.x file format: the uncompressed size is stored on 4 bytes only. This will be fixed in a future version of gzip.

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314 Description of problem: When running "gzip -l" on files larger than 4gb, the reported size is the actual size minus 4gb. (I didn't test on files > 8gb.) The files are correct and valid, but the reported uncompressed size is wrong. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gzip-1.3.3-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a file larger than 4gb (i.e. dd bs=1024M if=/dev/null seek=5 of=/tmp/sparse.bin) 2. Compress it (i.e. gzip --fast -c /tmp/sparse.bin > /tmp/sparse.bin.gz) 3. Run "gzip -l" on the file (i.e. "gzip -l /tmp/sparse.bin.gz") Actual Results: "gzip -l /tmp/sparse.bin.gz" reports: compressed uncompressed ratio uncompressed_name 23418688 1073741824 97.8% sparse.bin Expected Results: "gzip -l /tmp/sparse.bin.gz" should have reported: compressed uncompressed ratio uncompressed_name 23418688 5368709120 99.6% sparse.bin Additional info:
