Something like the following should work: # split --bytes=`expr <filesize> / 2` <prefix> <tarfile> You should then end up with two (possibly three) files. <prefix> is the prefix you want to give the two files that are created, instead of "xa". Before you can use the tar file again, you'll need to concatenate the two files together in order alphabetically.
