I have issues unzipping a huge zip files containing around 1M files. The zip file is 15GB and uncompresses to ~60GB. When I run unzip file.zip -d /directory/to/unzip/at it uncompresses halfway and gives up at around 700K files. No error messages.

Any tips?

I suspect urilimit set limit for either file size or CPU time: urilimit man page

  • They're both marked as "unlimited" Commented Jan 24, 2018 at 19:34
  • Does the unzipping stop at the exact same time? Is the unzipped content with the same size every time? Commented Jan 24, 2018 at 19:48
  • The unzipping stops at the exact same file every single time. Also unzipping the content produces the same amount of files/size. So you're right there seems to be a limiter. But it says "unlimited". Commented Jan 24, 2018 at 20:40

This happened to me (same symptoms, where it would hang after the same file every time). It turned out that stdout was being redirected somehow, so I wasn't seeing a prompt about overwriting a pre-existing file. Try running unzip with the -o option, and/or avoid stdout shenanigans.
