Split and compress large files into volumes according to specified size.
tar -zcf - filename | split -b xxx - outfilename.tar.gz.
xxx is the desired size for each package. If only numbers are entered, the default unit is byte.
Enter numbers + K for kilobytes.
Enter numbers + M for megabytes.
Enter numbers + G for gigabytes.
And so on for T, P, E, Z, Y (who can actually use anything beyond T? {shocked face})
The decompression command is:
cat outfilename.tar.gz.* | tar -zx
