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.

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.
