I used the 370 MB rar archive that resulted in a 3.2 GB tar archive after extraction. As I know tar doesn't compress so I suppose that the final also should be around 3.2 GB. Am I right or wrong?
You are right that tar does not compress,
Not by default but tar does include the ability to compress data as it is creating the tar file. tar --help will give you more info. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
