That k needs to be before the f. The f means file, and it has a parameter of
a file itself.
tar cvkf files.tar *
Should work, but your size option is not correct; tar will think you're
talking about another file called "600000". You need to pipe tar to split,
like this:
tar cvz * | split -b 600m - "pants-"
That should barf out a few six hundred meg files such as pants-aa, pants-ab,
etc. I've added a z because you may as well zip them too. You can put these
back together with zcat.
G'luck!
