This resulted in a 11% size savings on my limited testing. They decompress correctly with gzip (just tested again) $ gzip -dc comps-sl6-x86_64.xml.gz |wc -l 16830 and they are correctly identified by 'file' as being gzip compressed data. $ file comps-sl6-x86_64.xml.gz comps-sl6-x86_64.xml.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, max compression How did you check the comps-sl6-x86_64.xml.gz file that it reported as a non-gzip file?
