Hi there,

Does anyone remember how to tar something to a new location. This trick is
most generally used when someone wants to move a large number of files to a
new location, like for instance, adding a larger drive to become the /var
partition...

Ugh, there is some trick where you just run tar and pipe the output right
to another tar and it tell it where to uncompress it.

Thanks
Ken
