FYI
I just found out that the version of tar that comes with 3.2X and 4.0X
does not support files larger that 2 Gb.
If anyone out there is using tar for archive or backups of large files
(we have Oracle database files that are larger that 2 Gb) beware, your
backups may not be working.
There is a patch available. It actually replaces pax, tar and cpio.
