Hello. I frequently work with large tar archives that often need to be split into smaller pieces. Up until now, I've used tar -m to create multi-part archives. I recently read that I can use split to do the same thing. Is there an advantage or disadvantage to using split over tar -m?
Also, is there some way to index a large tar file, so if I want to extract a file at the end of a large archive, tar doesn't have to seek through the entire archive to get the file? Thank you for any help. Regards, Sean -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
