> ... are there any performance comparison done? I've not explicitly compared performance to GNU cpio, but it should be quite competitive. (Some recent tests show bsdtar to be pretty much on par with GNU tar and star performance-wise and bsdcpio is using the exact same libarchive back-end.) If anyone does take the time to compare performance, I'd be very interested in the results. > some exciting features (like format-auto-detection with > bsdtar the other day)? The format auto-detection is fully handled in libarchive so, yes, bsdcpio should have very solid format detection, including automatic handling of archives compressed with compress, gzip, and bzip2. I've also enabled "support_compression_all", so bsdcpio reads every format that libarchive reads. Tim
