Hi
I'd like to do a backup to another partition using tar. Here are about 9GB
data to be saved. After a while tar complaints about a to big output file (i
think max size is around 2GB). Is there a way to split the output in more
files?

I see the same problem; the upgrade tools (e.g. apt-get dist-upgrade
or aptitude) are eager to remove lots of woody packages. The problem
seems to be that the new tar knocks out cpio, and this in turn takes
out dpkg-dev, which takes out a lot of things.
Here's my list of affected packages

We went over this yesterday here on the list. Tar does not exactly
replace cpio, it simply insists that you get a newer cpio, which does
not yet exist. Why it cares about cpio at all, I do not know.
For mys
it complains about gs-common
versioning ... the box I did today all the kde stuff upgraded but I've
the tar/cpio/gs issues --
I'd guess there is something in incoming that is slow to move but that's
just a guess -- in the mean time if upgrading, look at the REMOVAL items
in do
tar replaces cpio in unstable. You may not want to do this.

What's the story with tar? The new package conflicts with cpio, and by
extension much of GNOME. I'm not aware of inherent conflicts between
cpio and tar: in my experience they are orthogonal or at least
complementary. Why do they now conflict?

I've been using Karsten Self's sample backup script available in the Linux
Backup mini-FAQ at:

This script basically uses tar to archive a list of directories to tape and

Not sure about GNU tar, but most tars default to -p
when run as root. In any case, giving it -p doesn't
hurt. I always use -c

I use -p on the extraction side and it works fine.
Also, from the man page:
-p, --s
