I am having problems with extracting a tar file for a colleague.
It was created with tar / gzip on opensuse 42.1 and a md5 checksum generated and stored on a NAS.

But I keep getting the following error before extraction completes:
gzip: stdin: Input/output error tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
That's why I never do tar.gz to archive/backup data. Not reliable.
The odd thing is it isn't happening on one file, it happens on a different one every time (but never gets to the end).
How can I recover the data in this tar file? Is there a way to ignore this error and continue anyway?
I believe it is impossible, sorry. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
