Hello, according to tar(1), the base system tape archiver is bsdtar since 8.x , which lacks support for multi-volumes. I guess I can easily omit that restriction by installing gtar from archivers/ in the ports collection. Is there any plan to implement split volume support again for the base system? Any better app to feed tapes these days in FreeBSD? Regards, -Harry -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hello, Harald. To create multivolume archive, you may use tar + split. ------- wbr, Nickolas 2012/6/16 Harald Schmalzbauer <h.schmalzbauer@omnilan.de>:> ?Hello, > > according to tar(1), the base system tape archiver is bsdtar since 8.x , > which lacks support for multi-volumes. > I guess I can easily omit that restriction by installing gtar from > archivers/ in the ports collection. > Is there any plan to implement split volume support again for the base > system?
