I find it in the man pages without problems: -M --multi-volume Create/list/extract multi-volume archive But watch out -- this is gnu-tar and on the later FreeBSD OS (5.x+) appears as gtar (also as gtar in man pages). For BSD tar on 5.4 I find "There is not yet any support for multi-volume archives" Malcolm _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
