    Is there a filesize limit? tar keeps crapping out at around the 4GB limit..so I assume this is the case?

    I've no idea where I got tar from..maybe it came with MOS?

    EDIT: could be SFS I suppose :-/

    There is 4GB size limit in MorphOS 1.4.x (it is actually 2GB, SFS stretches specifications).
    1 + 1 = 3 with very large values of 1

    Yes.

    At MorphOS 1.x (DOS) is the maximum Filesize 4GByte-1
    and at SFS (for MorphOS 1.x) also.

    Hint: Many old Programm have Limit <2GB and less.

    The Filesystem ext2 for MorphOS can >4GB, but >4GB work only at MorphOS >= Version 2.x!

    Split bigger Files (from /at another system) or
    Wait of MorphOS 2.x.
