   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.

     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'

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

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