You will need to repeat this process for each file in your multi-volume tar archive, remembering to change the suffix number each time. Now you'll be prompted with: Prepare volume #2 for `tar_archive.tar-2' and hit return:
Presumably this means `name of the next volume is tar-archive.tar-2' What worked for me was this: tar -xMv -file=tar_archive.tarįollowed by the prompt: Prepare volume #2 for `file_that_was_tarred' and hit return: On Mac OS X 10.4.11* it works as follows: tar -tape-length=102400 -cMv -file=tar_archive. In Mac OS X you need to use the Terminal to access the command line. Tar is a GNU-licensed tool capable of creating multi-volume archives.
