I am sure I already posted this:
1) create a named pipe xxx
2) xterm #1: start: star -c ... tsize=1200000 f=xxx
3) xterm #2: start (TAO mode !!!) cdrecord -eject ... xxx
Then change CD's as needed and after that tell star that a new tape
has been mounted on "xxx".
You will get a number of CD's that contain complete and correct tar
archives. If you don't have hard links, you may even extract them
in any order.
