Hi!

I would like to extract a large (11GB) tar file on an ext3 filesystem. But
it shows only to be about 3gb large:

yabba# ls -la pictures.tar
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  3317055488 Feb 15 19:03 pictures.tar

Is there any possible way to extract the file?

I'm running 5.2-RELEASE on i386.

bash-2.05b# tune2fs -l /dev/ar0s3
