@FloatingGhost On newer systems
"create archive file" and
"extract archive file"
might be easier.

("z" always uses gzip for compression and can not extract .tar.bz2 or other types. "a" will choose whatever compression tool the output file extension automatically. Not available on all installations tho)

@FloatingGhost nowadays s/ze/a/ for extracting though, but do prepend the hyphen-minus for portability
Show threadmirabilosDec 25, 2022
@FloatingGhost and -czf has ridiculously bad compression, much better to -cf - | gzip -n9 or so. Ideally also set the blocksiae to 512 as you aren’t dealing with real tapes, but I can only remember that syntax for paxcpio
