Ok Great quick responses. Andy Bach recommended dd because it was only one file Mike Salehi recommended gnutar on both sides. (so obvious, I feel silly) Bob Metcalf recommended `split` then `cat` to reassemble. Well done thanks for the quick responses. Cian ORIG POST ========== Gurus. I have a .dmp file that is 18 gig, I need to transfer to HP-UX, and want to tar it onto tape to extract it. Is there any trick I can use so that I dont get nailed on a tar file size limit? I thought there was a 9 gig tar ball limit. Thanks in advance Cian _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Apr 9 15:39:34 2002
