Former Bob Jonkman -- Please use the new server at https://gs.jonkman.ca (bobjonkmanformer)'s status on Monday, 01-May-2017 18:01:34 EDT Former Bob Jonkman -- Please use the new server at https://gs.jonkman.ca I'm running 'tar --lzip -cvf somefile somefolder/' on some 300 GBytes of data. Now I need to shut down my computer -- will this resume where it left off, or will it start again from the beginning? -

I did read 'man tar' (I do so frequently, since both the info on that page and I are so dense). I had hoped that with --lzip there was some hope for resume. -
