Well, it seems tar can not handle 4.7Gb files any way. I'm not sure why

emm. It should be handle to at least 8gb. And since I use tar to write to my
280gb tapelib ... and this guy used a 21gb tarball for his tests:

you are doing something wrong.
Well, Kdar does the making part. I'm not doing anything fancy when
unpacking it but when I do it with it set to 4.7Gb, I get a error about
half way though unpacking. I can't recall the error at the moment but I
should be able to reproduce it if needed.
I was thinking tar could handle huge files which is what confuses me.
