Hello!
I have a 80G tar archive which I have nowhere to
extract to. Could I mount it as a filesystem?
Read-only would suffice.
Andrew,
Short of that solution, why not tar -t to get a list of files in the
archive, then you can tar -x the files you actually want.
You ought to be able to:
tar -t foo.tar > list.txt
edit list.txt
cat list.txt | xargs tar -x foo.tar
-danny
The archive is actually part of my music collection on
a headless fileserver. I would like to share it with
samba. It's a pity that FreeBSD doesn't have linuxish
arcfs or tarmount, but that sort of thing is not really
needed very often.
Thanks to all for your kind help!
Andrew P.
