I wouldn't do that: xargs can call tar multiple times, and you'll lose data. As for your other question, tar uses gzip to compress, so if you get different sizes then you're going to have to figure out what the problem is. Maybe you're using a different version of gzip than tar is? _______________________________________________ help-tar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-tar
