This is what I see in "tar --help" about this subject:
Archive format selection:
-V, --label=NAME create archive with volume name NAME
PATTERN at list/extract time, a globbing PATTERN
-o, --old-archive, --portability write a V7 format archive
--posix write a POSIX conformant archive
-I, --bzip2, --bunzip2 filter the archive through bzip2
-z, --gzip, --ungzip filter the archive through gzip
-Z, --compress, --uncompress filter the archive through compress
--use-compress-program=PROG filter through PROG (must accept -d)
So, bzip should be supported via the "-I" - flag, not the "y"-Flag...
Bye,
LenZ
