What to say about you great inteligent people, thank you so much for your
fast help-responses...Many many people replied , most of the replies were
refering using ln which works in many cases, not on mine.. i will post the
solution that worked for me and I think the most complete.
Respect to you my friends. Thank you again for your interest.
That Used to be my problem :
-Hello again Guru's..
-I have a tar issue, please help me if you can. This is the issue :
-I have a big tar file that has been tared with the -c (not -C) option,
--with the following path e.g. /home/user1 . The problem is the /home
-filesystem is full I need to extract it under e.g /usr/u01 (different fs) i
mean change the relative path that has been tared, without extrating -on
-another system and them movin.
