Are you aware of the fact that this creates non-standard archives that cannot be read back with other programs in case the archive uses extended attributes or files > 8 GB. well, star is able to read back files > 8 gb from suntar archives, but not extended attributes. > restore ZFS acls and accept file > 8 Gb, path up to 1023 (MAX_PATH_LEN), > and UID/GID according to Solaris and tar belong to miniroot > > But no multivolume tape support. star includes reliable support for multi-volume archives. The next major release of star will include support for path names with unlimited length (the basic infrastructure to support unlimited path lenghts is already inside star as star uses libfind). The ACL and extended attribute implementation in suntar does not meet the qualitystandards from star and thus we need to first invent an archive format definition for for this purpose. P.S. I decided to personally switch to ZFS when I buy my first disk >= 2 TB. I will implement ZFS ACLs for star either after I use ZFS at home or after Sun includes star ;-) PP.S. I am interested in discussion that help to find the right archive format for ZFS ACLs and for extended attribute files.
