Star implements aprox. twice as many features than GNU tar. Star is even able to
extract most if not all of those multi volume GNU tar archives that GNU tar
does
not like (while not being able to verify whether the follow up archive is the
right one). Star intentionally does not implement write support for GNU tar
multi
volume archives because the GNU tar format is not a good idea.
