It might also be pointed out that 'tar' has this 2 Gb limitation, unless they fixed it in 1.13.25. I've run headlong into it before.

i think this is not correct. i've handeled archives > 2gb with tar 1.12. If you are on a filesystem with a 2 gb limit, your libc has a 2g Limit or the system your tar was compiled on had a 2gb limit, yes then tar too has the 2GB problem when reading/writing from/to hd. This was true for most intel-linux systems until auround the middle of this year. (don't remember exact time when it went away) Christoph
