tar 2GB limit
Any idea how to get around this limit? I have a 42GB database backup file (.dmp) taking up disk space because neither tar nor cpio are able to put it onto a tape. I am on a SUN Solaris using SunOS 5.8. I would appreciate whatever help can be provided. Thanks!

It might help if you posted both the commands you used, and what type of tape, and whether it was used or new.

tar has a 2GB limit for an individual file, but the total size of the archive can be larger. This limit arises from the standard tar format. A nonstandard tar format can help and I see a -E option on my Solaris man page. I would give pax a try. pax is standard and, in theory, pax can handle a file of 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 bytes. (But I have never tried that.
