Hi, I have a large tar file (1 > TB). When I try to extract a file from it using the following command, it hangs there even the file to be extracted has already been extracted in the local disk.
tar -xvf a_large_tar_file.tar path/to/file/for/extraction Does anybody know what the problem is? Is there a way to let tar finish as soon as the file is extracted. Thanks. -- Regards, Peng
