Hello,

I have a folder that - porting things to different destinations - I'm
trying to tar here and there.

I'm coming from Debian with an #mb file tar and it is all fine.

But when it is matter to deliver things from OpenBSD eg. to other
live destination taring the same stuff I get the following error:

tar: File name too long for ustar
"go/Pippo/Pluto_Pluto_Pluto_Pluto/pippo/EN/pippo pippo pippo pippo
technical assistance and sale of appliances emergency service
throughout the pippo area pippo pippo superpippopippo.com"

and these folder and files doesn't comes compressed at all.

If I try with the Archive Utility generating the same tar
doesn't give me the best result..at all: 
Archive chooses independently links to transform them in folder further
then respecting the folder structures; also double links for the 
same destination are present in the resulting tar.

I'm not sure where is matter of Posix file system restrictions 
boundaries and when we can talk about "bugs". Archive seems really
drunk, Terminal a little less, but doesn't take to any happiness..

Despite any technical hint about OpenBSD.. am I forgetting any
compression option for the required resolution?

Appreciated!
