Creating multi-volume archives.
 
Can someone show me any way to create multi-volume archive in Maemo 5 / transfer files of about 30 Mb to girl from windows client?
File Transfers, Pidgin and Gtalk/ICQ plug-ins for Conversations failed to transfer any files.
Mail for Exchange with Gmail complaining about size.
Xarchiever, File-Roller, 7z, 7zr and tar failed to create multi-volume archieve. (7zr's time for every percent was twice longer then previous).
I'm exhausted.

Re: Creating multi-volume archives.
 
tar on N900 is the cut-down (crippled) version in busybox. You could create your archive as normal then use split to chop it into bits and transfer then on windows you could use the copy command with the /b (binary) option to join them back again then unarchive.

Eg to split into 1MB pieces:

Code:

split -b 1048576 bigfile.zip bigfile.zip.
Results in files:

Code:

bigfile.zip.aa
bigfile.zip.ab
bigfile.zip.ac
bigfile.zip.ad
...

Unfortunately split is also the crippled buysbox version so you can't have numerical suffix and are stuck with the alpha suffixes.
