man page says: --checkpoint print directory names while reading the archive
which is indeed what i want because this doesn't have much meaning when slogging thru a 300GB tar tape!: tar: Read checkpoint 156005 also, i know info pages are the main documentation source but man page should at least mention new argument: --checkpoint[=[.]count] print directory names (or .) every 10 (or count) records while reading the archive _______________________________________________ Bug-tar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-tar
