Split archive - split archive tgz txz file
To split an archive (for example a tar.bz2) we can use the "split" command. This can be useful when we have big files that for example the FAT32 file system is not able to manage.
bash-4.2# split -d -b 4000m doc.tar.bz2
bash-4.1# ls -lhtotal 5.7G-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.0G Jun 23 01:04 x00-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.8G Jun 23 01:05 x01
The split command has as arguments "-d", that means to use numerical suffixes for splitted files and "-b" that is the maximal size of each chunk.
