... But is there a max size limit for tar files?
Yes. The maximum size of a tar file is the same as the maximum size of a file in the file system. These sizes are listed in the Reference documentation, section "Large File Support in Linux".
Can I trust tar and make one big tar file, e.g. 25 GB of my entire home directory?
Yes. There shouldn't be any problem with files up to 2 TB, see the documentation. -- A.M. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
