Hi Paul Eggert, Currently on our server we have installed solaris 10. With ls -l command I found that the size of uncopressed file is 81Mb, so the gunzip -l is showing correct value. :/>ls -l -rw-r--r-- 1 omcadm omcadm 85349888 Aug 25 12:51 omcran_r31_v0_91_helpfiles.tar
So looks like some other factor is stopping the gunzip to fail with no space error. With 87Mb free gunzip was working fine in some partition but with 139Mb free gunzip was failing...:( I don't know why...:( please help me out...

Possibly the correct value is 4 GiB larger than what's listed, which would explain your problem. At any rate, 'strace' should tell you what's happening.
