I was of the impression that tar would do volumes itself with the -M
option. I am just too slow to work out how to impliment the volume size
part
Does anyone have a one liner that will tar.bz to CD sized volumes.
TIA

Michael,
This depends on how you want to use the tar files. You can tar and then use split.

You can make one big archive and then use the split command(split -b
700m filename). You can then use cat to put them back together.

man tar lists:
-L, --tape-length N
change tapes after writing N*1024 bytes
Unfortunately it seems it is not able to work together with 'z'
(compress) option. If you type:
tar cf test.tar -L 20 documents/
tar will create a first archive named test.tar, then stop
