Archiving big ammount of files.
Hello All.
I have problem archiving files.
The problem is
I have about 10000 files in one directory, all this file aproximately the same size, i need to gzip them and write on DVD. But all this files take about 15 GB of space (already gzipped). So i need DVD Blue-Ray
or i need to split this files on 5 parts and upload them on DVD. I choose second)
Please help me on this issue.
I somehow need to tar this files in 5 archives, and then gzip tar archive. But i cannot understand the way i can tar them on different archives.
Or tar them in one archive and then split this archive on many, but will all files will be readable? if i will open only one part of such archive?
It will be realy nice if someone can help me. And this is not a Homework

gzforce
GZFORCE(1) General Commands Manual GZFORCE(1) NAME
gzforce - force a '.gz' extension on all gzip files SYNOPSIS
gzforce [ name ... ] DESCRIPTION
gzforce forces a .gz extension on all gzip files so that gzip will not compress them twice. This can be useful for files with names trun- cated after a file transfer. On systems with a 14 char limitation on file names, the original name is truncated to make room for the .gz suffix. For example, 12345678901234 is renamed to 12345678901.gz. A file name such as foo.tgz is left intact. SEE ALSO
gzip(1), gznew(1), gzmore(1), gzgrep(1), gzdiff(1), gzexe(1) ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +--------------------+-----------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +--------------------+-----------------+ |Availability | SUNWgzip | +--------------------+-----------------+ |Interface Stability | External | +--------------------+-----------------+ NOTES
Source for gzip is available in the SUNWgzipS package. GZFORCE(1)
