If you can successfully extract each bz2 file, then you should be able to
cat the results sequentially into a tar file or stream and then extract....
If this listing script works, you should be OK...
for i in *.bz2
do
cat $i | bunzip2 || {
echo "Error. Exiting."
exit 1
}
done | tar tvf -

Subject: Question about bzip2 and bzip2recover and tar
I have a big .tbz file that I need to unzip and read, but I got a
error message that suggested I try bzip2recover. So I ran
bzip2recover and it produced 4282 files named:
rec0nnnncarols051011x.tbz.bz2
where nnnn is the numbers 0001 through 4282.
I am in the process of unzipping these files, but I don't know
what to do next. These are pieces of a tar file. Should I extract
them separately, or concatenate them and extract the concatenated
file, or is there some other process step?
Is there a HOW TO on this problem? Where?
