large file support

[Craig Rasmussen]

Hi,

 

I didn’t know where else to send this, so I am sending it here.  If some other place is more appropriate please let me know.

I have a linux system with large file support and wanted to have tar handle large files.  I didn’t see any option to making tar to ensure this.  Are there any?  Does it automatically pick up the large file support from the OS?  I am specifically wondering about the format of the tar header fields such as size and time.  Any help is appreciated.
