Former Bob Jonkman -- Please use the new server at https://gs.jonkman.ca (bobjonkmanformer@sn.jonkman.ca)'s status on Monday, 01-May-2017 22:01:34 UTC Former Bob Jonkman -- Please use the new server at https://gs.jonkman.ca

I'm running 'tar --lzip -cvf somefile somefolder/' on some 300 GBytes of data. Now I need to shut down my computer -- will this resume where it left off, or will it start again from the beginning?

  @mcscx@quitter.se @notjeff@gs.smuglo.li Well darn. I did read 'man tar' (I do so frequently, since both the info on that page and I are so dense). I had hoped that with --lzip there was some hope for resume.

  @bobjonkman I couldn't find the meaning of --lzip – it's mentioned but not explained in "info tar" (which is just the manpage here) @notjeff

  @bobjonkman …but I guess --lzip is a compression method like lzop, so should be unrelated to whether it can resume or not. @notjeff

  @bobjonkman if you could just resume there would be a risk of inconsistence b/c source files could have changed. @notjeff

  True, but I'd like to be able to make that mistake. @mcscx@quitter.se @notjeff@gs.smuglo.li

  lzip has the property that Z(a+b+c) = Z(a)+Z(b)+Z(c) where a,b,c are files; I had hoped this property would let me resume a 'tar --lzip'

  @bobjonkman I'd throw an "n" and a "p" after the "c". The "n" will make the archive seekable while the "p" preserves permissions.

  @bobjonkman ok, then tar --lzip seems to use a different output file format than both .tar and .tar.gz. So I may be wrong…

  I make the output file ".tlz" for 'tar --lzip -cvf somefile.tlz somefolder/' ; the Caja filemangler seems to recognize it
