Is the RAIDar_Linux_4_3_0-T8.sh corrupt?

[CharlesLaCour]

I have tried downloading the RAIDar_Linux_4_3_0-T8.sh file a number of times on various Linux boxes and when I run it I get the error:

Code: Select all

gunzip: sfx_archive.tar.gz: not in gzip format

I am sorry, but the installer file seems to be corrupted.
If you downloaded that file please try it again. If you
transfer that file with ftp please make sure that you are
using binary mode.

The sha256sum of the downloaded file is:
a4b9d92ae07903bc008b152e8d1a6c261651bd88cfa242acb8a8137bcbfc57a3 RAIDar_Linux_4_3_0-T8.sh

Also the md5sum on it is:
6b10bc50c675c0b7fdd0f82be7045098 RAIDar_Linux_4_3_0-T8.sh

I think the problem is that the ReadyNAS.com server sends out the file using a content type of "text/sh". This results in the file being converted (mime-encoded I'd guess) "over the wire" and thus is received in a broken state by any application.

The first part of the file, 439 lines, is a recognizable shell script and then it switches to binary, it is not MIME encoded.

So you're saying you were able to download and install it?

No.

I download the file, change the permissions on the file to make it executable and then execute it as root and I get the error in my original post.

Here is a transcript of what I have tried on an Ubuntu 10.04 system: (The host name and loginhave been changed)

I also tried the "sudo bash ./RAIDar_Linux_4_3_0-T8.sh" reported in other posts and it gives the same results. I have also used "sudo su -" to change to root and then run the RAIDar_Linux_4_3_0-T8.sh directly and same result.

Well, it looks like there's more broken in that file. I took a deeper look at it and found that
- it tries to extract the archive from offset 259892 to the end of the file. The .gz archive header actually starts at offset 262014
- even when extracted from the correct offset, the resulting tar.gz archive is still broken.

So in a nutshell: Yes, the download .sh file is broken
