How to speed up tar restores
by mfoley from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6MSAB)
I'm looking for suggestions -- maybe not doable.
I have a 118G bz2 compressed tarfile on an external USB 2.0 drive. The uncompressed files use 450G. This took 4 hours to restore from the USB drive.
Does that seem reasonable?
