[Trinux-talk] tar archive limits

[<gla...@ya...>]

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to use Trinux to save some archives (to
tell the truth, a lot of them) in Windows98SE machines
as a backup tool. Until today, it just work perfectly,
even better than other small distribuitions that were
made to deal with these matters.

I've tried to create a tar file with a really HUGE
amount of files to a total of 4.5Gbs. Yes, I know I've
got hard on this. In my tests, the tar used in Trinux
has a limit of working with a amount equal to 2Gb
maximum.

I was asking myself is there is no way to workaround
this problem if tar could use the compact option in
newer versions of tar (the z option).

The Windows98SE workstations are AMD XP 1.6Ghz with
256Mb of memory.

Any help or idea would be very good.

Thanks everybody,
