I have the same porblem (a 450G diskarray)
I use gtar to split the disk in smaller pieces.
I still have one 450G partition, but I have a whole slew of toplevel
directories, and simply specify each of them as a target for tar.
(some of those are too big even then, so I repeat the trick for the second
level dirs).
And yes, this sometimes mean I have to add or remove some entries from
disklist. I can live with that ;).
My disklist looks something like
host /bigdisk/a high-tar
host /bigdisk/b high-tar
host /bigdisk/c high-tar
host /bigdisk/d high-tar
host /bigdisk/e high-tar
host /bigdisk/e/1 high-tar
host /bigdisk/e/2 high-tar
host /bigdisk/e/3 high-tar
host /bigdisk/e/4 high-tar
host /bigdisk/e/5 high-tar
host /bigdisk/f high-tar
host /bigdisk/g high-tar
&c &c ..
(where a..g are replaced with the names of my toplevel dirs and
1..5 replaced with the secondlevel dirs .. you get the picture)
Kind regards,
