Thank you. Didn't see the --format option when I do a "man tar" but I
now see it when I do a "tar --help".
Just curious as to the answer to Jörg question below.
And I'm wondering where I can get more information to read up on the
different formats the --format option uses.
I just tested a restore of a file from tape that was written without the
--format=pax option and the restore worked find (this file was not a
tape spanned file) so I won't have to worry about compatibility with
backups and restores as I implement the use of this option.

Is this ever going to be addressed when spanning tapes?
It has been addressed quite a while ago (around v1.16, 2005). Try
--format=pax, it does not have this limitation.
Does this mean you introduced an incompatible alternative for multi-volume
or did you reimplement the star method?
