Hi Brent,
The BSD tar that is in FreeBSD cannot span tapes, you have to
use gtar. (GNU tar) the old original tar in FreeBSD was gtar,
then they renamed tar to gtar, and added in a BSD tar (that
is unencumbered code)
man gtar should tell all you need.
Also a note on your 8MM, 14gb
I believe you should use the M flag.
# tar cvfM /dev/foo .
or some such. But that was a long time ago, on an operating system far away.
