Ubuntu zip 1M files?

Question

ubuntu

I can’t zip a folder with 1 million files (text files 50-150kb) on ubuntu through the command line
zip -r compressed_filename.zip foldername
twists and after a few minutes writes Kill, leaving ~ 400mb file with random names and no extension

Answer 1

In general, thank you all. here's what happened:
I tried fs.file-max = 1000000, then sudo sysctl -p. It didn't seem to have any effect. Probably because on VPS only 500 MB of RAM
through 7zip archiving in zip broke off a little later
through 7zip archiving in 7z wrote Couldn't allocate memory
through 7zip archiving in tar threw almost everything (93%)
Googled a little and found how to transfer some of the files to other folders . Created 10 folders of 100k in each threw off using
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f |head -100000|xargs mv -t %TARGET_DIRNAME%
and made each folder an archive

Answer 2

tar + gzip instead of zip

Answer 3

Try to increase the number of maximum open files (/etc/sysctl.conf and write the following line
fs.file-max = 1000000 into it, then sudo sysctl -p). Or use another archiver: tar.gz or 7zip (installed separately from the repositories)

Answer 4

I would try p7zip
