tar--limits ????
Post 2341 by sdharmap on Tuesday 8th of May 2001 05:26:45 PM

Hi! All,
This is True64 Unix, 4.0.F patch kit 4
I have a 15GB Oracle dump file that I have to backup to tape. I am trying to use "tar" to dump it to tape, but
tar complained that the file was too big and that it was
truncating it!.
I am compressing the file using the "compress" utility.
Now, here comes the BIG IF?
1. Is there a limit on the file size that can be tar-rd?
I did not find anything in the man pages.
2. What do I do if tar complains even after the compression?
3. Won't the file get corrupted if it's truncated??
What next?
Please lead me to the light!!!!
