I have a directory with 18GB worth of files and I would like to tar span and
burn it into a few DVDs after that. How can I do this in command line?
For what it's worth, I usually use rar for this task, because I can
figure out the command line in about 10 seconds by running 'rar' with no
arguments and check the help output, and they confuse my Windows-y
friends less if I need to pass them around. Install rar from rpmforge.
To split a directory of files into roughly 700Mb bits:
rar a -v700000k rarname_to_create.rar dir_of_files
I recently wanted to split a large .iso of already highly compressed
data into chunks that would fit on a FAT32 filesystem, so this is with
no compression:
rar a -v700000k -m0 rarname_to_create.rar dir_of_files
I just noticed that Fajar beat me to quoting google hits relating to
'tar | split' so I'll hold off doing the same :)
