[comp.sys.next] gtar w/ floppy

jy0q+@andrew.cmu.edu (Jules Andrew Yasuna) (04/29/91)

Has anyone used gnu tar with 2.88 meg floppies ? Using the "-M" option,
supposedly multiple floppies can be used. I tried this, but instead of
prompting me to switch disks, gnu tar just quit after the first disk was
full. Here is the command I used:

tar -cvMf /dev/fd0a  {directory to be tar'ed}

Any ideas ?
