I'm not a tar developer, but your proposition doesn't sound like unix philosophy of doing one thing well and let others do other things well. IMHO this is better: tar -cf - the_dir_to_tar | split -b 1024m See man split for instructions for changing the part names (default is xaa, xab, xac,...). Then uncompress the files like this: cat the part files ... | tar xf - Ville Oikarinen _______________________________________________ Bug-tar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-tar
